Answer 2

1) conic, 3)curved-surface, 4) equal-area, 5)Mercator

Step-by-step explanation:

• The most common types of map projections are cylindrical, conic, and azimuthal. As the conical map projection is used to show places around the poles. Also called as equidistant conical projection represent both hemispheres.

• The curved surface projection is also called the cylindrical map projection that represents the global meridians. They stretch distances from east to west.

• The equal-area projection also is known as equidistant his projection shows earth on the same size of map but may distort their shape, angle, and/or scale. An example is Bonne and Sinusoidal projection.

• Mercador a type of cylindrical map projection, is a standard map projection for navigators. This projection inflates the size of objects away from the equator such as Greenland appears to be bigger than Africa.
