A map with contour lines that show elevation of the earth's surface?
You don't help
What is the flat map shape like an oval called?
A map in the shape of an oval is called the Mollweide Map.
What Gives you the most accurate representations of distances and shapes of the Earth's surfaces?
If you want to see Earth as a whole, a globe (or 3-D model) is the most accurate representation because the Earth's shape is spherical. Since a flat map cannot accurately take the shape of the round globe some of the things on the map can appear distorted in shape, and can make some land masses appear larger than others when they are not.
Why do you think a globe is more accurate than a map?
a globe is a sphere and is the same shape as the earth. it shows the mountains and terrain but does not give you a specific location. the map is better becasue it is more precise.
What is a map that shows shape on a map?
a physical map
What is a spherical map on earth called?
The ball is a globe, which shows a map of all the landforms on earth.
Is Earth's shape a circle?
No, the Earth's shape is an oblate. A slightly squashed sphere or ball shape.
What shape is earth's moon?

What do you call a map that is the same shape as the earth?

What do shadows show about the shape of the Earth?
That the Earth is basically shaped like a ball.
What is the only way to accuratley represent the true shape of the earth?
a physical map
What is the main Problem with showing a spherical earth on a flat map?
you cannot have a map that has both accurate area and correct shape

What is a same-shape map?
A same shape map
Why would the scientists in the Aristotle have problems when making a map?
They might have thought the earth is a square shape when it is a round shape!I hope that answers your question!
How would you describe the earths shape?
the shape of the earth is not flat. it has a spherical shape. its slightly flattened at the poles to give a nearly spherical shape hence; the earth's shape is better described as a geoid which means the earth's shape
What is the difference between a globe and a map?
Hey this is Lily4eva and you will be seeing allot more of me on this site and all of my answers are true! A globe is a replica and true representation of the earth's shape and surface. A map cannot provide an accurate representation of the earth's surface because it is a flat surface. (Try pasting a map on a globe.) It doesn't work. Maps use projections like the Mercator Projection to show the earth's surface but it causes distortions because a map is flat and the earth is spherical in shape.
