GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -It is similar to the Albers Conic Equal Area projection except that the Lambert Conformal Conic projection portrays shape more accurately than area. This is a specialized map projection that does not take into account the curvature of the earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conic projections are created by setting a cone over a globe and projecting light from the center of the globe onto the cone. Ptolemy’s maps used many conic projection characteristics, but there is little evidence that he actually applied the cone or even referred to a cone as a developable map projection surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -AuthaGraph. The AuthaGraphy projection was created by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa in 1999. It is considered the most accurate projection in the mapping world for its way of showing relative areas of landmasses and oceans with very little distortion of shapes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The major advantage of the Lambert Conformal Conic map projection is how it retains conformality. Despite how distances are reasonably accurate and retained along standard parallels, it isn’t equal area as distortion increases away from standard parallels.
