Mercator ProjectionCorrect shapes of
landLines of latitude are
straight Lines help show true
directions: N,S,E,W
≠ Size is distorted≠ North and South
Poles are huge≠ Lines of Longitude
are also straight (curvy)

Robinson ProjectionCorrect size of land
and waterLines of latitude are
straight Lines of longitude are
curvyGood for measuring
distances and sizes
≠ Shape is distorted≠ Places look longer
than they are—stretched

Interrupted Projection

Interrupted ProjectionLooks like an orange
peelCorrect size and
shapes of land and water
≠ Distance hard to determine because its broken up
