The two types of general purpose maps are physical maps, which show geographical features such as mountains and rivers, and political maps, which display boundaries between countries and regions.
A map globe is not square; it is a sphere. Globes are designed to represent the Earth in a three-dimensional and more accurate way compared to two-dimensional maps. The spherical shape helps to minimize distortions that occur on flat maps.
Flat maps were invented to represent the spherical shape of the Earth onto a two-dimensional surface for easier navigation, planning, and communication. They provide a convenient way to show the spatial relationships between different places and help us visualize the world in a compact and portable form.
Some other types of maps include thematic maps that focus on a specific theme or topic such as population density or climate, topographic maps that show elevation and terrain features, and road maps that highlight transportation networks. Additionally, there are specialty maps like weather maps, geological maps, and nautical charts.

Sculptures are usually three-dimensional.
No. A map is only two-dimensional, length and width. A globe is a three-dimensional representation of the earth's surface
