What advantages does a globe have over a flat map?
A flat map exaggerates certain countries close to the poles. A globe shows the bodies of land in their actual size. For example: Greenland looks huge on a flat map, but looks much smaller (its actual size compared to the other countries) on a globe. Next, lines of longitude and latitude are more accurate on a globe.
Why is it difficult to accurately represent the earth on a map?
because it has to be stretched to fit on the map. example, look at Greenland on a map and on a globe. are they the same size or not? NO. the globe is accurate and the map is wrong because it had to be stretched out the fit the flat rectangle. hope this helped
