Mollweide projection of the world The Mollweide projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. The Mollweide projection is an equal-area, pseudocylindrical map projection generally used for maps of the world or celestial sphere. It is also known as the Babinet projection, homalographic projection, homolographic projection, and elliptical ...
Oblique version of Mollweide 1953 Bertin = Bertin-Rivière = Bertin 1953: Other Compromise Jacques Bertin Projection in which the compromise is no longer homogeneous but instead is modified for a larger deformation of the oceans, to achieve lesser deformation of the continents. Commonly used for French geopolitical maps. [10] 2002 Hao projection
The Mercator projection shows rhumbs as straight lines. A rhumb is a course of constant bearing. Bearing is the compass direction of movement. A normal cylindrical projection is any projection in which meridians are mapped to equally spaced vertical lines and circles of latitude (parallels) are mapped to horizontal lines.
The equal-area Mollweide projection. In cartography, an equivalent, authalic, or equal-area projection is a map projection that preserves relative area measure between any and all map regions. Equivalent projections are widely used for thematic maps showing scenario distribution such as population, farmland distribution, forested areas, and so ...
Mollweide projection. In geography, a pole of inaccessibility is the farthest (or most difficult to reach) location in a given landmass, sea, or other topographical feature, starting from a given boundary, relative to a given criterion. A geographical criterion of inaccessibility marks a location that is the most challenging to reach according ...
Mollweide projection, a pseudocylindrical map projection. Mollweide Glacier, a glacier the Victoria region of Antarctica. Mollweide's formula, a mathematical equation.
Because the Mollweide is sometimes called the "homolographic projection" (meaning, equal-area map), Goode fused the two names "homolographic" and "sinusoidal" (from the sinusoidal projection) to create the name "homolosine". [2] Common in the 1960s, the Goode homolosine projection is often called an "orange-peel map" because of its resemblance ...
The projection is the arithmetic mean of the equirectangular projection and the Aitoff projection: [2] The name tripel (German for 'triple') refers to Winkel's goal of minimizing three kinds of distortion: area, direction, and distance. [3]
