A conformal conic projection with two standard parallels, or a conformal conic map projection in which the surface of a sphere ... is conceived as developed on a cone which intersects the sphere ... at two standard parallels [and] the cone is then spread out to form a plane which is the map. 8, record 1, English, - Lambert%20conformal%20projection

The Lambert projection (or, to be more precise, the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, but be advised that this complete name is rarely if ever used) is one of the most commonly used projections. As its full name implies, the Lambert projection is conformal, and thus it cannot be equivalent. 6, record 1, English, - Lambert%20conformal%20projection

An azimuthal map projection having the pole of the projection at the center of the area mapped. The azimuths of great circles radiating from this center (pole) are truly represented on the map: equal distances on those great circles are represented by equal linear distances on the map, but the scale along those great circle lines so varies with distance from the pole of the projection, that an equal-area projection is produced. 1, record 2, English, - Lambert%20zenithal%20equal%2Darea%20map%20projection
