A Lambert Conformal Conic projection is commonly chosen for

  • A.polar regions and broadly circular areas
  • B.equatorial regions of very great height
  • C.world maps intended to compare areas
  • D.mid-latitude regions wider than they are tall

Answer: D

A cone fits a band of middle latitudes well, and the conformality suits topographic and aeronautical use. Azimuthal forms suit the poles and equal-area forms suit world comparisons, so the shape of the region is usually what settles the choice.
