The type of map that shows correct shapes and directions but distorts distances or sizes is called a conic projection map.
The type of map that shows correct shapes and directions but distorts distances or sizes is called a "conic projection" map. This type of map is created by projecting the Earth's surface onto a cone, which results in accurate depiction of shapes and directions, particularly in mid-latitude regions. However, because the Earth is a sphere and cannot be perfectly represented on a flat surface, distances and sizes tend to be distorted as the cone projection expands away from the central point.
