Which statement is correct about the scale of a Polar Stereographic projection of the Northern polar area?
  • A
    The scale reaches its maximum value at the North pole.
  • B
    The scale reaches its minimum value at the equator.
  • C
    The scale reaches its minimum value at the North pole.
  • D
    The scale reaches its maximum value at the 45°N.

These harts are used in polar regions (between 50˚- 90˚) because the others can’t cope with convergence that well.

To get the correct details, the paper is held over the top of the pole and the imaginary light is projected straight up from the centre of the Earth to it.

Scale is minimal closer to the pole however the far you get from the pole the scale is getting bigger.
