Question

Projection most commonly used for mapping polar regions is:

• A. \(\text{Azimuthal} \)
• B. \(\text{Conic} \)
• C. \(\text{Oblique} \)
• D. \(\text{Cylindrical} \)

Hint:

For polar mapping, Azimuthal projection is preferred because it accurately represents circular regions near the poles.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding polar region projections. - Azimuthal Projection: Used for polar regions as it accurately represents circular areas. - Conic Projection: Suitable for mid-latitudes but not for poles. - Oblique Projection: Used for tilted perspectives, not for poles. - Cylindrical Projection: Distorts poles, making it unsuitable.
Step 2: Selecting the correct option. Since Azimuthal projection is most accurate for polar regions, the correct answer is a. Azimuthal.
