Select ALL statements that describe chart properties in the supplied material.
Answer
Mercator rhumb lines are straight, Mercator scale increases with latitude, Lambert conformal charts preserve local angles
Explanation
Mercator charts show rhumb lines straight and their scale increases with latitude. Lambert conformal charts preserve local angles but are not equal-area. **Key takeaway:** Conformal and equal-area are distinct projection properties. **Glossary:** Conformal: preserves local angles.
