Map projections (cartography): The Homolographic projection preserves which geographic property most accurately? Remember that 'homolographic' is another name for equal-area types of projections. Choose the correctly represented property.

Given data

• Identify what the Homolographic (equal-area) projection represents correctly.

Concept/Approach
A homolographic projection (e.g., Mollweide homolographic) is an equal-area projection. It preserves area across the map, though it distorts shapes, bearings (azimuths), and distances, especially away from standard lines.

Step-by-step reasoning
• 'Equal-area' ⇒ areas are kept proportional to reality.• Shape/conformality is not preserved in equal-area projections.• Bearings/azimuths and distances are not globally preserved.

Common pitfalls
Confusing equal-area (preserves area) with conformal (preserves local shape/angles).

Final Answer
Area
