Question

6.) which of the following statements about the robinson projection is correct? a. it is more useful for long - distance navigation than the mercator projection. b. it is better for making topographical maps than the mercator projection. c. it is more accurate than the mercator projection in showing the sizes of countries in higher latitudes. d. it is more useful for showing the distribution of human populations than the mercator projection. e. it is better for measuring territorial waters in lower latitudes than the mercator projection. 7.) latitude and longitude may be used to determine which of the following characteristics of a place? a. its site features b. its absolute location c. its relative location d. its situation e. its elevation

Explanation:

1. For question 6: The Robinson projection is more accurate than the Mercator projection in showing the sizes of countries in their true - proportion. The Mercator projection distorts the size of countries, especially near the poles.
2. For question 7: Latitude and longitude are used to determine the absolute location of a place on the Earth's surface. Absolute location is a fixed point on the globe using the coordinate system of latitude and longitude.

Answer:

1. C. It is more accurate than the Mercator projection in showing the sizes of countries in their true proportion.
2. B. Its absolute location
