A globe is spherical, like the Earth. A map is 2-Dimensional. Maps show the Earth, asphere, projected onto an unnatural shape. This distorts the image, making things look different sizes than they actually are. For example, if you look at a flat map of the world Antarctica looks much larger than it actually is. Spheres cannot be accurately made into flat, rectangular maps. A globe has no distortion and everything looks to be the correct size.

hope this helps

Do percocet and Dilaudid show up differently in a drug test?

Percocet and dilaudid are both opiates, a drug test won't discriminate between the two. Drug test's check for classes of chemicals not types so cocaine would show differently as would weed but as for anything in the opiate family there would be no way to tell the difference. =D
