Which statements describe conic projections? check all that apply. multiple types exist. pilots use this projection type. poles usually serve as central points. latitude lines connect at a central point. conic projections are the most distorted type.

Answer:

- Multiple types exist (the Albers conic, the equidistant conic projection and the Lambert conformal conic projection).

- Pilots use this projection type (the Lambert conformal conic projection is used for aeronautical charts).

- Poles usually serve as central points.

Notes:

Latitude lines connect at a central point. - False. Longitude lines connect at a central points. Latitude lines will form circles around the central point.

Conic projections are the most distorted type. False. All projections suffer from distortions. However, it cannot be said that the conic projections are the most distorted. For example, the Lambert Conformal Conic is a shape-preserving projection.
