| ALBERS EQUAL AREA PROJECTION | Geological | The Albers Equal Area projection is a method of projection on which the areas of all regions are shown in the same proportion of their true areas. The meridians are equally spaced straight lines converging at a common point, which is normally beyond the pole. The angles between them are less than the true angles. The parallels are unequally spaced concentric circular arcs centered on the point of convergence of the meridians. The meridians are radii of the circular arcs. The poles are normally circular arcs enclosing the same angle as that enclosed by the other parallels of latitude for a given range of longitude.Albers Equal Area is frequently used in the ellipsoidal form for maps of the United States in the National Atlas of the United States, for thematic maps, and for world atlases. It is also used and recommended for equal-area maps of regions that are predominantly east-west in extent. (references) | |

| LAMBERT AZIMUTHAL EQUAL AREA PROJECTION | Geological | Azimuthal projections are formed onto a plane which is usually tangent to the globe at either pole, the Equator, or any intermediate point. The Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection is a method of projecting maps on which the azimuth or direction from a given central point to any other point is shown correctly and also on which the areas of all regions are shown in the same proportion of their true areas. When a pole is the central point, all meridians are spaced at their true angles and are straight radii of concentric circles that represent the parallels.This projection is frequently used in one of three aspects: The polar aspect is used in atlases for maps of polar regions and of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres; the equatorial aspect is commonly used for atlas maps of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres; and the oblique aspect is used for atlas maps of continents and oceans.

(The Constitution provides each state with a minimum of one seat in the House.). (references) | |
