Mercator Map projection

This type of map projection that distorts shape and size of what is being portrayed. This projection is common and is of the cylindrical type. The example above shows the world and one is able to see the distortion of the shape and sizes of the continents. http://w3.impa.br/~pcezar/cursos/GIS/mapproj/mapproj.htm
