D)a satellite image.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Robinson projection is a compromise between an equal-area and conformal projection, meaning that it tries to balance both the size and shape of objects on the map, while avoiding extreme distortions in any particular area. The Mercator projection is not a compromise, as it greatly distorts size at the poles, while maintaining conformality. The sinusoidal projection is an equal-area projection, but sacrifices conformality, leading to distortion. A satellite image is not a projection, but rather an actual image of the Earth from space.
