#map_projection__mapprojection a projection of the globe onto a flat map using a grid of lines of latitude and longitude
supertype: projection.representation the representation of a figure or solid on a plane as it would look from a particular direction
subtype: conformal_projection__conformalprojection__orthomorphic_projection a map projection in which a small area is rendered in its true shape
subtype: conic_projection__conicprojection__conical_projection__conicalprojection a map projection of the globe onto a cone with its point over one of the earth's poles
subtype: polyconic_projection__polyconicprojection a conic projection of a map having distances between meridians equal to those distance on a globe
subtype: equal-area_projection__equal-area_map_projection a map projection in which quadrilaterals formed by meridians and parallels have an area on the map proportional to their area on the globe
subtype: homolosine_projection an equal-area projection map of the globe; oceans are distorted in order to minimize the distortion of the continents
subtype: sinusoidal_projection__Sanson-Flamsteed_projection an equal-area map projection showing parallels and the equator as straight lines and other meridians as curved; used to map tropical latitudes
subtype: Mercator_projection__Mercator's_projection a map projection of the earth onto a cylinder; areas appear greater the farther they are from the equator
