Of the principal map projection classes, which cannot be generated using a physical-perspective approach, i.e., an approach based on the projection of the shadow of a wire-skeleton globe onto a geometric surface?

B) oval
C) conic
D) planar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oval projections cannot be generated using a physical-perspective approach because they do not correspond to any simple geometric surface like a cylinder, cone, or plane.
