s that are subject to distortion are: <strong>shape</strong>, <strong>area</strong>, <strong>distance</strong> and <strong>direction</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p>A map that preserves shape is called <code>conformal</code>;</p></li>
<li><p>one that preserves area is called <code>equal-area</code>;</p></li>
<li><p>one that preserves distance is called <code>equidistant</code></p></li>
<li><p>one that preserves direction is called <code>azimuthal</code></p></li>
<li><p>Each map projection can preserve only one or
