UTM zone characters designate 8 degree zones extending north and south from the equator. UTM Zone 14 Table of Contents Pseudocylindrical Projections Pseudocylindrical projections resemble cylindrical projections, with straight and parallel latitude lines and equally spaced meridians, but the other meridians are curves. Mollweide The Mollweide projection, used for world maps, is pseudocylindrical and equal-area. The central meridian is straight. The 90th meridians are circular arcs.
Parallels are straight, but unequally spaced.
The Eckert IV projection, used for world maps, is a pseudocylindrical and equal-area. The central meridian is straight, the 180th meridians are semi-circles, other meridians are elliptical. The Eckert VI projection , used for maps of the world, is pseudocylindrical and equal area. The central meridian and all parallels are at right angles, all other meridians are sinusoidal curves. Shape distortion increases at the poles.
