132. Which type of projection is used to make a Mercator chart?
A Mercator chart utilizes a cylindrical projection, formed by projecting the Earth onto a cylinder and flattening it. This method distinguishes it from conic and polyconic projections, which use cones, and from a generic rectangular projection. The cylindrical projection preserves angles and depicts rhumb lines as straight lines, a key feature for navigation.
