Question

Even at high latitudes, the ____________ map projection is well-suited for maintaining the shapes of continental coastlines.

Answer 1

Mollweide projection

Step-by-step explanation:

• Being an equal-area map projection, used in global maps also known as Homographic and Elliptical projection this projection has an accuracy of angles and shapes. The projection was given Karl Bernard in 1805.

• In which equator is represented by a straight line and other parallels encompass near the poles. The whole earth is depicted in a proportion of 2:1 ellipse.

• Shape distortions are diminished by using this projection as the mollweide projection discard central median uses multiple disjoint centers and shifts the area of distortion to the oceans allowing the continents to remain true of form.
