Question

what is the equal area projection​

Answer 1

Answer:

An equal area projection is a map projection that shows regions that are the same size on the Earth the same size on the map but may distort the shape, angle, and/or scale.

Explanation:

The equal area projection retains the relative size of area throughout a map. So that means at any given region in a map, an equal area projection keeps the true size of features. While equal area projections preserve area, it distorts shape, angles and cannot be conformal.
