Assignment #3
I projected the World with the World Craster Parabolic Projection. A Craster parabolic projection is a pseudocylindrical projection that is often used to produce thematic maps of the world. This type of projection also works well for producing interrupted maps, such as the parallel and sinusoidal interrupted Craster projections. The central meridian lies at 36o 46’ north and south and the projection is free of distortion there. As you get farther and farther from the central meridian, distortion increases and is greatest at the outer meridians and high latitudes.
