Question

What type of map is created as though you created a clear plastic cone over a globe.\

Answer 1

answer is globe...............

Answer 2

If we create clear plastic cone over a globe it will create a conic map. In a conic projection, a cone is placed over the globe in a manner that the circular top of the cone touches the globe.

Features of the globe are then projected onto the cone. The map which is then produced is in the shape of a rectangle with curved parallels and meridians.

The conic maps are not suitable for explaining large areas. However, for smaller areas, conic maps are quite good. The directions and distances shown in the conic maps are relatively accurate.
