Has very little distortion in the areas or shapes of landmass that fall along a certain line of latitude?

A conformal map preserves angles locally, meaning shapes and areas near a specific latitude line are distorted minimally. This property helps maintain the accuracy of landmass shapes and sizes at that latitude on the map.


How do mercator maps distort the view of earths surface?

The Mercator projection used for maps distorts the size and shape of large objects as the scale increases from the Equator to the poles where it becomes infinite. Whereas areas near the equator have little or no distortion, a latitude greater than 70 degrees has too much distortion to be useful.


What is the definition of map distortion?

When the picture of the world is put on to a flat piece of paper, the longitudes and latitude need to be stretched out a little bit. So sometimes the antarctic can seem bigger on some other maps.

What is is the definition of conic projections?

Answer: A Conic projection projects points & lines from a globe to a cone. It has little distortion in shape & area of land masses along lines of latitude (curved). Distortion does exist near the top & bottom of the projection (north & south poles). It is NOT useful for traveling long distances. They're very accurate in making maps of small areas because they don't distort the size & shape of the land. They're used to make road maps & weather maps.
