What happens to the circles in the Lambert projection (and, therefore, to the landmasses) as latitude increases? What causes this distortion of the circles away from the equator? (Once again, compare parallels and meridians.)

What will be an ideal response?


Circles become flatter and wider (ovals); cause N -S “shortening” and E -W “widening” in polar regions. Parallels get closer on projection and meridians become parallel.
