Discuss the main properties of conical projection with one standard parallel and describe its major limitations.

2. The meridians are straight lines. The meridians intersect the parallels at right angles.

3. Distance at meridians are fairly accurate.

4. The distance between two parallels on this projection is true.

5. There is a convergence of merdians towards the poles and closer to each other towards the poles.

6. This projection is neither equal area nor orthomorphic.

7. The standard parallel is truly divided.

Limitations :

1. It is not used for world map due the extreme distortion.

2. The distortions along the poles and near the equator makes the projection disadvantageous for representating very large areas.

Uses :

1. It is most suited for mapping middle latitude areas.

2. A long narrow strip of land running along the standard parallel in the east-west direction is shown fairly correctly.
