This map is a cylindrical normal projection with equal
area. This map is for definition
purposes to help introduce the types of map projections to those interested. It
uses 30 degree North as the parallels with no distortion. It has straight
equally spaced meridians and unequally spaced parallels. True scale occurs
along the central line, which in this case is the equator, and along two lines
at equidistant from the equator. As you move farther and farther away from the
central parallel, distortion increases.
