Azimuthal Equal Area

Projection Type:

Azimuthal

In standard presentation, azimuthal projections map meridians as straight lines and parallels as complete, concentric circles. They are radially symmetrical. In any presentation (or aspect), they preserve directions from the center point. This means great circles through the central point are represented by straight lines on the map.

Projection Property:

Equal-area

Area measure is conserved everywhere.
