Sinusoidal
| Name | Sinusoidal |
| Model | Pseudo-Cylinder |
| Type | Equal Area |
| Meridians | Sinusoidal curves, concave toward a straight central meridian |
| Parallels | Straight parallel lines |
| Spacing Meridian | Equal and decreases toward the poles |
| Spacing Parallels | Equal |
| Linear Scale | True on the parallels and central meridian |
| Specialties | Based on a cylinder tangent at the equator Interruptions are a result of more than one cylinder being applied. A seven zone sinusoidal projection has seven cylinder definitions |
| Uses | Allows a world scale map to avoid extreme exaggeration at the poles when used as a multi-zone projection |
