A student is using a map in which the features are distorted and the land size is more accurate near the equator.

Which type of map is the student using? Select two options.

-globe
-flat map
-conic projection
-Mercator projection
-equal-area projection

Mercator projection and equal-area projection

Explanation:

Mercator offers constant linear scale in every direction around any point making it a conformal map projection because it keeps the shape of small objects. As a result, the Mercator projection inflates the size of objects away from the equator thereby  landmasses is only accurate at the equator.

In equal area projection, features are mostly distorted because it preserves the area and no map can preserve both area and shape

ask an adult bc this is too hardcore
