3. What is a map projection by aspects of developable surface?
4. What is a TM projection?
5. What projections are used to show Europe on a map? Describe
each of them.

6. What are the two main parallels used in Europe conical
projections?

Task 4. Define whether the following statements are true or
false and translate them. Correct the false ones according to

the text.
1. Map projection by shape of normal graticule is based on

meridians and parallels when the central axis of the developable
surface is oriented north-south.
2. The values of longitude and latitude are used as a main criterion

for classifying and choosing map projections for specific regions.
3. The TM projection is a conformal projection where the equator
is the single standard parallel.
4. The Gauss-Kruger projection is similar to the Transverse

Mercator projection except that there is only one meridian that touches
the cylinder from the globe.

5. Europe Lambert conformal conical projection maintains the
equivalent properties.
6. Map projections can be oriented to the following aspects:
normal, transverse, oblique, compromise projections.

II. LEXICAL EXERCISES

Task 1. Complete the sentences according to the texts above.

1. Since a map is 2-dimensional a) Europe
representation of a 3-dimensional world, Equidistant Conical

compromises must be made in ___ . projection
2. ___ projects information from the b) equi-distant maps
globe onto a conic surface.
3. Maps that accurately reflect area are c) conform

often called ___ (an example is the Albers
equal-area conic map).
4. ___ project information from the d) a conical

globe onto a flat surface when only a point projection
of the planar surface touches the globe.
