Cylindrical Projections


Cylindrical Projections
•Cylindrical Equal Area
•Cylindrical Equal-Area projections have straight meridians and parallels, the meridians are equally spaced, the parallels unequally spaced.
•
•There are normal, transverse, and oblique cylindrical equal-area projections.
•
• Scale is true along the central line (the equator for normal, the central meridian for transverse, and a selected line for oblique) and along two lines equidistant from the central line.
•

• Shape and scale distortions increase near points 90 degrees from the central line.
