Definitions from the WebTerm: Conformal Projection Description: A conformal projection is a cartographic projection that accurately preserves local angles, shapes, and areas on a map. It maintains the shape of small features, such as the landmasses, while distorting the overall size and scale of the map. Conformal projections are commonly used in navigation and for creating detailed maps where preserving accurate shapes and angles are crucial. Sense 1 - Noun: A conformal projection refers to a specific type of map projection that retains the shapes of objects on the Earth's surface, disregarding their relative sizes. Example Sentence: The Mercator projection is one of the most famous conformal projections. Sense 2 - Adjective: In mathematics, a conformal projection refers to a mapping that preserves angles between intersecting curves. Example Sentence: The conformal projection of the function onto a complex plane preserves the local angles between its contours. Related Products on Amazon: Map Projections on Amazon | ||||
