Which pair of projections preserves opposite properties on the same cone?

  • A.The gnomonic and the stereographic
  • B.The Robinson and the Winkel Tripel
  • C.Lambert Conformal Conic and Albers Equal Area
  • D.Mercator and the Transverse Mercator

Answer: C

Correct answer: Lambert Conformal Conic and Albers Equal Area

These two are the conformal and equal-area conics, constructed on the same cone with the same standard parallels and differing only in how the parallels are spaced along the radii. They are the standard pair for a mid-latitude region, and which to use depends entirely on whether angles or areas matter for the map in hand.
