Q: What does a conformal map preserve?
  • A. Shapes of the features on the map
  • B. Area of features on the map
  • C. Distance between features on the map
  • D. Direction between features on the map
Correct Answer: Option A - On a conformal map preserves the shape of feature on the map in order to preserve the individual angles that describes spatial relationship, a conformal projection should. Show perpendicular lines, at 90⁰ angles to the map. A map projection accomplished this while maintaining all angles.
