meridian that touches the cylinder from the Mercator
globe.

III. GRAMMAR REVIEW

Task 1. Transform the verb in the sentence from Active into

Passive Voice. Mind the word-order and the tense of the verb.

1. Surveyors use three types of map projections to project
different developable surfaces.
2. Geodesists are now using the TM projection, because it the
most widely used projected coordinate system for world topographic

and navigational chart mapping.
3. A conical projection projects information from the globe onto a
conic surface.

4. Map-makers have to project a 3-D surface onto a 2-D map.
5. Maps of developable surface assume distinct orientations of
projection developable surfaces.

6. Cartographers will use mathematical formulas to create
projections.
7. Navigational maps need accurate compass directions
maintained on the map.

8. Equi-distant maps show the distance between points.

Task 2. What does the selected pronoun refer to.

1. Meridians of normal azimuthal projections are straight radial
lines, and parallels are circles that are centered in the point of the
meridian’s intersection.
a) circles b) projections c) meridians

2. An easy way of visualizing the distortion of a map at a given
point (P) is Tissot's indicatrix, which is an ellipse centered at a point.
a) distortion b)ellipse c) indicatrix

3. Maps that maintain the shape of objects are called conformal.
a) maps b)objects c) points
