Question

what map projection is shown in this image? image of a cylinder and sphere options: planar, conic, cubic, cylindrical

Explanation:

To determine the map projection, we analyze the image: it shows a globe being projected onto a cylinder (the wireframe structure around the globe). Planar projection uses a flat plane, conic uses a cone, and cubic is not a standard map projection type. Cylindrical projection involves projecting the globe onto a cylinder, which matches the visual here.

Answer:

D. cylindrical
