Why does UTM use a transverse aspect rather than a normal one?

  • A.To preserve the area rather than the angle
  • B.To allow the poles to be shown
  • C.To put the band of least distortion along a meridian
  • D.To make every parallel appear as a straight line

Answer: C

Turning the cylinder on its side runs the line of contact north to south, which suits mapping a zone that is narrow in longitude and long in latitude. A normal Mercator would put the truthful band along the Equator instead.
