   Distortion Characteristics
   As an equal-area projection, the defining feature of the AEACP is that the area of any region on the map is exactly proportional to the area of the corresponding region on the Earth's surface, provided the reference ellipsoid is correctly specified. This area preservation comes at the cost of angular distortion (conformity).
   Angular distortion increases rapidly moving away from the standard parallels t…
