🔍 Key Concepts

• Mercator chart characteristics (rhumb lines, constant bearing) • What a chart projection surface looks like around the Earth • Difference between conic and cylindrical projections

💭 Think About

• Think about how a Mercator chart shows latitude and longitude as straight, crossing lines—what kind of geometric surface around the globe would produce that? • Which of the listed projections would best preserve compass bearings as straight lines on the chart? • Conic projections use a cone touching the Earth; which answer choice matches wrapping something else around the Earth’s equator?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are conic-type projections and which are not • Consider which projection would give meridians and parallels as straight, perpendicular lines • Before choosing, picture the Earth and imagine which surface is wrapped around it for a Mercator chart
