Which of the following observations most accurately reflects the benefits using the mercator project over the Mollweude project

Answer 1

- The Mercator projection preserves the shape of landmasses accurately, making it ideal for navigational purposes.
- The Mercator projection distorts the size of landmasses at the poles, making them appear larger than they actually are.
- The Mollweide projection provides a more accurate representation of the size and shape of landmasses, particularly at higher latitudes.
- The Mollweide projection sacrifices the accurate depiction of shapes, especially in areas near the equator.
- The Mercator projection is commonly used in world maps and has become a standard for representing the Earth's surface.
