What are some advantages of using a globe to show earths surface?
One advantage to using a globe is that you can more accurately determine distances than you can with a flat map. Flat maps distort the spherical surface and that distortion can be significant over long distances.
What is a symbolic representation of all or part of the earths surface on a flat piece of paper?
The two dimensional representation of the Earth's surface on piece of paper is called a map. Maps can show an area in great detail or in very broad outlines.
Why is it impossible to show the earth on a flat surface?
it's not impossible. The reason we have longitude and latitude lines are so that we are able to see the earth on a flat surface.
What does a topographic map of America show?
Location and elevation of Earths surface features.
How do aerial photographs and satelite images show earths surface?
Because the cameras are pointed down to take pictures of the Earth's surface.
Which of the types of map would best show the three dimensions of the earths surface?
Topographic map.
Which of the maps show the three dimensions of earths surface?
Topographic map
N the 1500s gerardus mercator found a way to show the earths surface on pieces of paper?
Gerardus Mercator developed the Mercator projection in the 16th century, which is a cylindrical map projection that preserves straight lines. This projection became popular for navigation due to its ability to show lines of constant course as straight lines on the map. While it distorts the size of objects away from the equator, it is still widely used for world maps.
A framework of lines that helps show landmasses on a flat surface?
map projection
What is the name of that show with the scientists that find lizards in the earths mantle and a boy on the surface finds one and tries to raise it with his friend in his dogs doghouse?
surface
What do cartographers use to show the round Earth on a flat surface?
Cartographers use a projection method to show the round Earth on a flat surface. Different types of map projections, such as Mercator or Robinson, are used to represent the Earth's curved surface in two dimensions while minimizing distortion of shape, area, distance, or direction.
Was the technique of perspective used by renaissance painters to show three dimensions on a flat surface?
