Understanding Map Projections and Coordinate Systems in QGIS
Map projections are essential for representing the Earth's surface on a flat plane, with various distortions depending on the projection used. QGIS provides tools to work with different projections like UTM, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, and more. Mixing projections in QGIS can lead to errors in dat
