Question

analyzing map projections
notice that this map has lines of longitude that are
curved and meet at the poles.
what type of projection is used for this map?
○ equal - area
× conic
○ mercator
○ lambert conformal

Explanation:

Conic map projections project the Earth's surface onto a cone, resulting in curved longitude lines that converge at the poles. Equal-area projections prioritize preserving area over shape/direction, Mercator has straight, parallel longitude lines, and Lambert conformal (a conic type but the general conic category matches the described curved, pole-meeting longitudes here).

Answer:

conic
