The interrupted map projection that uses horizontal parallels and a combination of sine curves and ellipses to represent meridians is the Goode projection. The Mercator projection uses straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles, and the Winkel Tripel projection uses a combination of pseudocylindrical and pseudoconical map projections to create a compromise projection.
