Question

a student is using a map in which the features are distorted, and the land size is more accurate near the equator. which type of map is the student using? globe, equal - area projection flat map, conic projection globe, conic projection flat map, mercator projection

Explanation:

Equal-area projections preserve land area accuracy, especially near the equator, while distorting shapes. Globes are not flat maps, conic projections are more accurate for mid-latitudes, and Mercator projections distort area (enlarging polar regions). The correct option matches the description of an equal-area projection on a globe.

Answer:

globe, equal-area projection
