8-38. 8-39. 8-40. 8-41. 8-42. A Mercator projection increases distortion as you move in what direction? 1. East or west from 0° longitude 2. South of the Arctic circle 3. North  of  Antarctica 4. North or south from the equator Standard  Mercator  projections provide  excellent  data  of  the  polar regions. 1. True 2. False A transverse Mercator projection is a  Mercator  projection  that  is altered  in  what  manner? 1. Rotated  to  tangent  to  the Tropic  of  Cancer 2. Rotated  45°  to  lessen  the distortion  of  the  higher latitudes 3. Rotated 90° tangent to a meridian 4. Altered to show all features in the  proper  prospective The military grid system is derived for  what  projection? 1. Conic 2. Mercator 3. Transverse   Mercator 4. Gnomonic On the globe the parallels become shorter  towards  the  poles.  Their length is proportionate to what? 1. Sine of the parallel 2. Cosine  of  the  parallel 3. Sine of the latitude 4. Cosine  of  the  latitude 8-43. The  basic  arrangement  of  grids based  on  the  transverse  Mercator projection is divided in what manner between latitude 80°S and 84°N? 1. 6°  longitude  by  8°  latitude zones 2. 100,000-meter   squares 3. 8°  longitude  by  6°  latitude zones 4. 6°  longitude  by  12°  latitude zones 8-44. In  a  transverse  Mercator  grid system,  each  polar  region  is divided in what manner? 1. Same as all other regions 2. Into two zones 3. Into  100,000-meter  squares 4. Zones A and B 8-45. In  a  grid  system,  each  100,000- meter square is divided into (a) how  many  columns  and  (b)  designated in  what  manner? 1. (a) 6 (b) numbered 0 through 9 2. (a) 6 (b) lettered A through Z with I and 0 omitted 3. (a) 8 (b) lettered A through Z with I and 0 omitted 4. (a) 12 (b) alphanumeric 8-46. What value is assigned to the equator  to  prevent  dealing  with negative  values  south  of  the equator? 1. 10,000,000  meters  and  the  value increases  toward  the  South  Pole 2. 10,000,000  meters  and  the  value decreases  toward  the  South  Pole 3. 500,000  meters  and  the  value increases  toward  the  South  Pole 4. 500,000  meters  and  the  value decreases  toward  the  South  Pole 8-47. The value assigned to the central meridian to prevent dealing with westerly values is called 1. a  false  easterly  value 2. a  false  westerly  value 3. a  false  northing  value 4. a  false  southing  value 56
