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.
