    Question



    Which of the following is NOT an Azimuthal Projection?

    A.

    Cylindrical Equal Area Projection

    B.

    Polar Zenithal Equal Area Projection

    C.

    Polar Zenithal Equidistant Projection

    D.

    Gnomonic Polar Zenithal Projection

    Correct option is A


    The Cylindrical Equal Area Projection is not an azimuthal projection. It is a type of cylindrical projection, where the Earth's surface is projected onto a cylinder. This projection preserves area but introduces distortions in shape, especially near the poles.
    Information Booster
    · Azimuthal Projections: Project the Earth's surface onto a flat plane. Examples include Polar Zenithal Equal Area, Equidistant, and Gnomonic projections.
    · Equal Area Projections: Preserve the relative size of areas, useful for representing spatial distribution of data.
    · Gnomonic Projection: Shows all great circles as straight lines, useful for plotting shortest paths over long distances.
