A conformal chart must preserve local angles, but it need not preserve area.
Answer
true
Explanation
Conformality means that local angles and shapes of sufficiently small features are preserved. It does not mean that areas or distances are uniformly preserved. **Key takeaway:** Conformal means angle-preserving, not equal-area.\n\n**Glossary:** **Projection**: mathematical transformation from Earth's surface to a flat chart.
