A conical projection is obtained by projecting the surface of Earth onto a cone that is in contact with a parallel. On the resulting fan-shaped map, distortions become greater on either side of the contact zone. This projection system, which can portray only part of the planet, is frequently used to produce maps of regions in the middle latitudes. | |
