Does a Mercator projection show the size shape or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?

None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.

What is a projection plane?
an abstraction of a flat surface whose orientation is defined by eight loudspeakers of a D-8 sound projection system, forming a front border (running from Front Left through Front Center to Front Right), a back border (running from Back Left through Back Center to Back Right), a left side border(running from Front Left through Side Left to Back Left) and a right side border (running from Front Right through Side Right to Back Right). Perceived sound sources can be described as having a location in this plane or outside its borders. The purpose of this plane is to describe the perceived motion that takes place within the three dimensional space. Although this motion may be in some way three dimensional, only two dimensions can be controlled by D-8 sound projection and are therefore the only two discussed.
What is the math definition for location?
In math, the definition of a location is a point. A point gives a specific position or location on a plane surface.
How many animals are killed a year from cars?
Even one is too many! I killed three (suicidal) doves just last year with my truck. It was completely unintentional, caused no damage, and so the incident becomes part of the 'unreported animal deaths caused by cars'. Please specify which location you are referring to, as states', countries' and continents' statistics will vary widely.
What is an exact location on the end of a ray?
the exact location on the end of a ray is the endpoint
How do you describe the size and location of three cubes on a graph?
For the size you can give the length of a side. For the location you need to identify the location of three vertices that are not coplanar or the two diagonally opposite vertices.
Does the Mercator projection show the size or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
Does the mercator projection more accurately show the size shape or the location of the continents on a map?
Mercator projection is used on ships. It shows the correct shapes of continents but the areas are distorted. The longitude lines are parallel which makes the areas at the poles seem larger than they actually are. Hope this helps.
If the continents were drawn using a Mercator projection are the chances improved of finding a fit?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
How are the Mercator projection and the Goode's projection different?
The Mercator projection is used for world maps, and is most accurate between 30 degrees north and south latitude. The further away you go from there, the more exaggerated it becomes. The equal-area projection is also used for world maps, but only represents the continents in equal area with respect to their size, but not location. The conic projection is used for maps that show polar regions, such as Alaska. Imagine an ice-cream cone turned upside down and placed on top of a ball. The only accurate representation would be only in the circle that cone touches the ball.
Which tool should be used to accurately show size and location of continents.?
Globe.
What do you call the location in the center of the map?
The location on the center of a map is called the mercator
Why are lines of latitude and lines of longitude perpendicular?
a) planar projection B) cylindrical projection
Does the gall peters projection have excellent location?
this map does not have excellent location. please correct me if i am wrong.
What does a polar projection show?
A map of a location near or in the poles.
What does a projection map show?
