62Mollweide's projection — /molˈvī dəz prə jekˈshən/ noun An equal area representation of the surface of the globe in which the parallels of latitude are straight lines (closer together nearer the poles) and the meridians (apart from the central one) are curved, the… …
63Isometric projection — is a form of graphical projection more specifically, an axonometric projection. It is a method of visually representing three dimensional objects in two dimensions, in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angles… …
64oblique Mercator’s projection — A type of conformal map projection in which the cylinder is tangent at a great circle other than the equator or the meridian. The line of tangency can be any great circle. The projection is used principally to depict an area near the vicinity of… …
65Mercator projection — n. a method of making maps in which the earth s surface is shown with the meridians as parallel straight lines spaced at equal intervals and the parallels of latitude as parallel straight lines intersecting the meridians at right angles but… …

67Scale (map) — The scale of a map is defined as the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. If the region of the map is small enough for the curvature of the Earth to be neglected, then the scale may be taken as a constant… …
