|
|
they appear to be slightly flattened

|
|
their distance from the Equator appears longer than it actually is
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth’s axis is tilted. The poles appear to be slightly flattened in a Robinson Projection. Earthquakes are caused directly by plate tectonics.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Robinson projection is neither conformal nor equal-area. It generally distorts shapes, areas, distances, directions, and angles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map which shows the entire world at once. It was specifically created in an attempt to find a good compromise to the problem of readily showing the whole globe as a flat image.
Detailed explanation-4: -Advantage: The Robinson map projection shows most distances, sizes and shapes accurately. Disadvantage: The Robinson map does have some distortion around the poles and edges.
