the nominal scale of a lamberts conformal chart is the

scale at the standard parallels

on a lamberts conformal conic chart the convergence of the meridians is the same as earth convergency?

at the parallel of origin

a lamberts conformal conic chart projection the two standard parallels the scale is only correct

along the standard parallels

on a lamberts conformal chart the earth convergency is most accurately represented at the

parallel of origin

the scale on a lamberts conformal chart is constant along

a parallel of latitude

on a lamberts conformal chart great circles that are not meridians are

curves concave to the parallel of origin

the parallels on a lamberts conformal chart are represented by

arc of concentric circles

on a lamberts conformal chart the distance between parallels of latitude spaced the same number of degrees apart

reduce between and expands outside the standard parallels

a perfectly straight line on a lamberts chart is a meridian of longitude

meridian of longitude

on a Mercator chart the scale varies as

1/cosine if latitude

on a tranverse Mercator chart scale is exactly correct

along the meridian of tangency

tranverse Mercator chart are used for

mapos of large N/S extent

on a transverse Mercator chart with the exception of the equator parallels of latitude appear as

ellipses

an oblique Mercator chart is used specifically to produce

charts of the great circle route between two points

a direct mercator graticule is based on a projection that is

cylindrical

paraallels of latitude on a direct mercator chart are

parallel straight lines unequally spaced

on a direct mercator chart a rhumb line appears as a

straight line

on a direct mercator chart a great circle will be represented by

a curve concave to the equator.

on a direct mercator chart merdians are

parallel equally spaced vertical straight lines

on a direct mercator chart it is not possible to

represent the N/S poles

the scale is correct on a transverse Mercator chart along the

datum of meridian and meridians 90 degrees to it

the most likely use for an oblique mercator chart is charts for

intercontinental flights following great circle tracks

the main use for an transverse mercator chart is it is used for

topographical charts of long thin countries lying N/S

the chart that is generally used for navigation in polar areas is based on

stereographical projections

the appearance of rhumb lines except meridians on a polar stereographical projections

curves concave to the pole

value of convergence factor on a polar stereographical projections is

1

the chart that is generally used for navigation in polar areas is based on a

stereographical projections

the appearance of rhumb lines except meridians on a polar stereographic chart

curves concave to the poles

in a stereographical projections

a plane surface touches the reduced earth at one of the poles

the only chart that is perspective is

stereographical projections
