A) Here is the Robinson
projection of the world is shown. The parameters are as follow:
World_Robinson
Projection: Robinson
False_Easting: 0.000000
False_Northing: 0.000000
Central_Meridian: 0.000000
GCS_WGS_1984
This projection is classified as
a pseudo-cylindrical projection by reason of
its straight parallels, along each of which the meridians are spaced evenly.
The central meridian is also a straight line; other meridians are curved. The meridians curve
gently, avoiding extremes, but thereby stretch the poles into long lines
instead of leaving them as points. Hence distortion close to the poles is
severe but quickly declines to moderate levels moving away from them. The
straight parallels imply severe angular distortion at the high latitudes toward
the outer edges of the map, a fault inherent in any pseudocylindrical
projection.
