A conformal projection preserves the shape of features on a map but distorts their area. Examples of conformal projections include the Mercator projection and the Lambert conformal conic projection.
Lambert projection is conformal.
A conformal map preserves shape, meaning angles are maintained. A equal-area map preserves size, meaning areas are accurately represented.
Yes, the projection note on a map sheet typically identifies the projection system used, such as Mercator, Robinson, or Lambert conformal conic, among others. This information is important for understanding how the map distorts geographic features and distances.
You would likely use a conformal map projection, such as the Mercator projection, to study Australia due to its accuracy in representing shapes and angles. It would be beneficial for preserving the shape of the continent and for navigation purposes.

Conformal
A conformal map is a type of map that preserves shape (angles) and a equal-area map preserves size (area). However, no single map projection can perfectly preserve both shape and size simultaneously across an entire map.
conformal map if i misspelled it sorry it happens too me all the time. :)
Lambert projection is conformal.
A conformal map preserves shape, meaning angles are maintained. A equal-area map preserves size, meaning areas are accurately represented.
You have to use a map projection. There are various types, and the most common type is a conformal projection, which preserves the shape of small features. There are various different conformal projections in use.

I don't think "conformal" is the correct word.
