  2. Geology of Taiwan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Taiwan

    A third map was produced in 1926 titled: Geological Map of Taiwan showing Mineral Distribution by Y. Ichikawa and H. Takahashi. [29] It showed 19 rock units. [29] A 1935 coloured map by Y. Ichikawa had a scale of 1:500,000. [29] In 1953 the Geological Survey of Taiwan (台灣地質調查所) published a map compiled by L.S. Chang at a 1:300,000 ...

  3. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

    Population density map of Taiwan Taiwan has a population of over 23 million, the vast majority of whom live in the lowlands near the western coast of the island. [ 5 ] The island is highly urbanized, with nearly 9 million people living in the Taipei–Keelung–Taoyuan metropolitan area at the northern end, and over 2 million each in the urban ...

    Until its dissolution in 2020, Amherst-based ODT Maps Inc. was the exclusive North American publisher of Peters and Hobo–Dyer projection maps. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ] On April 16, 2024, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed a law that requires public schools to display maps based on the Gall–Peters projection, a similar cylindrical equal-area ...

  7. Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_azimuthal_equal...

    The Lambert azimuthal projection is used as a map projection in cartography. For example, the National Atlas of the US uses a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection to display information in the online Map Maker application, [3] and the European Environment Agency recommends its usage for European mapping for statistical analysis and display. [4]

  8. Goode homolosine projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goode_homolosine_projection

    The Goode homolosine projection (or interrupted Goode homolosine projection) is a pseudocylindrical, equal-area, composite map projection used for world maps. Normally it is presented with multiple interruptions, most commonly of the major oceans. Its equal-area property makes it useful for presenting spatial distribution of phenomena.
