The representation of meridians, parallels, great circles and rhumb lines
Section titled "The representation of meridians, parallels, great circles and rhumb lines"Evaluate the following statementst concerning a Lambert chart: 1. Great circles are curves, concave to the pole of projection. 2. The parallels of latitude are straight lines.
Evaluate the following statementst concerning a Mercator chart: 1. Rhumb lines are straight lines and they are lying closer to the poles. 2. Great circles are curved lines, lying closer to the Equator.
Evaluate the following statementst concerning a Lambert chart: 1. Great circles are always curved towards the Equator. 2. Parallels of latitude are arcs of circles.
Evaluate the following options concerning a Lambert chart? 1. The chart has 2 standards of parallels and the meridians are represented as straight lines converging with increasing latitude. 2. Rhumb lines are curves concave to the parallel of origin.
Evaluate the following statements: 1. Lambert charts have 2 parallels of origin. 2. On a Mercator chart the rhumb lines are curves, converging with increasing latitude.
Evaluate the following statementst concerning a Mercator chart: 1. The space between the parallels of latitude are increasing with latitude. 2. The Equator and meridians are both rhumb lines and great circles.
Evaluate the following statements: 1. The Mercator chart has 2 standards of parallels. 2. On a Lambert chart the meridians are straight lines converging with increasing latitude.
Evaluate the following statementst concerning a Mercator chart: 1. The space between the parallels of latitude are increasing with meridians of longitude. 2. The Great Circles are concave to the Equator.
Evaluate the statements concerning a Mercator chart: 1. Rhumb lines are curved lines, lying closer to the Equator. 2. Great circles are straight lines, lying closer to the poles.
Evaluate the following statementst considering a Mercator chart? 1. Mercator charts are orthomorphic charts. 2. Rhumb lines are curved lines and they are lying closer to the Equator.
How are meridians on a Mercator chart represented?
Evaluate the following statements: 1. In a Mercator chart, rhumb lines are straight lines. 2. Mercator charts are not orthomorphic charts.
Evaluate the following statements concerning a Lambert chart: 1. The rhumb lines are curves, concave to the pole of projection. 2. Great circles are curves concave to the parallel of origin.
