Which statement best describes a Lambert conformal chart?
Answer
The chart is conformal and nearly true to scale
Explanation
A Lambert conformal chart preserves local angles and is nearly true to scale over its intended region. It is not an equal-area projection, and rhumb lines are not generally straight. **Key takeaway:** Lambert conformal charts preserve angles and provide useful regional scale characteristics. **Glossary:** **Equal-area**: A projection preserving area; **conformal**: A projection preserving local angles.
