Amercator projection map shows
a) accurate directions, but has distorted sizes and distances
b) accurate sizes, but has distorted distances
c) accurate distances and shapes, but has distortions around edges

These maps show true direction and land shapes fairly accurately, but not size or distance. Areas that are located far from the Equator are quite distorted.

Hope this Helps

Option (A)

Explanation:

Mercator projection is a type of cylindrical projection that is used to represent the earth in a rectangular map. They are generally used by sailors for marine navigation purposes. It has an advantage that it gives the exact true direction between any places on earth. But near the poles, the size of the landmass as well as the distance between the places gets distorted. So it is not efficient to map the near-polar region.

hence, the correct answer is option (A).

answer

crater lake was formed when mount mazama produced a large eruption and collapsed to form a caldera, which then filled with water forming a lake.
