Another projection looks a little like the peel of an orange This is called an interrupted projection While the size and shape of land and water areas are fairly accurate, the oceans and Antarctica are split up On a polar projection, the North or South Pole is at the center of the map These maps are accurate in the center, but shapes and distances are distorted at the edges Scholastic Success With Maps Workbook: Grade © Linda Ward Beech, Scholastic Teaching Resources Projections Name ARCTIC OCEAN GREENLAND Interrupted Projection EUROPE NORTH AMERICA ATLANTIC OCEAN ASIA PACIFIC OCEAN AFRICA 0° Equator SOUTH AMERICA PACIFIC OCEAN INDIAN OCEAN AUSTRALIA ANTARCTICA What is the shape of the polar Polar Projection projection?
