14.  Well, EVERY MAP contains unavoidable DISTORTIONS.  On some maps, parts of the earth may appear larger or smaller than in reality.  On others, the shapes of the land masses are SMALLER, and compass directions are INACCURATE.

15.  Is well suited for navigation charts because it gives true compass bearings between points (north, south, east, west).  However, it greatly distorts (or changes) the size of land masses and ocean areas.  Countries near the equator appear smaller, while those at the poles appear larger.

18.  Developed in 1998 by the National Geographic Society.  A map projection that shows the correct size of countries in relation to one another.  BUT, does not show true compass bearings!
