Both the Mercator and Goode Homolosine Projections share which distortion characteristic? The meridians do not converge on the maps.

There is interruption of the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

Land mass is distorted nearest the equator.

Distances between two points are distorted

There is relative size distortion near the poles

Distances between two points are distorted .

Explanation:

Both the Mercator Projection and the Goode Projection attempt to plot the total landmass as accurately as possible. Thus, the Mercator Projection represents the world in a rectangular plane, enlarging the size of the poles and, therefore, distorting the distances of the territories close to them. For its part, the Goode Projection divides the map into separate compartments, thereby breaking with the notion of distance that exists between the different territories of the planet.
