∙ 14y agoA common method is by projection. Imagine a lightbulb inside a clear globe inside a paper tube. The outlines of the continents will cast their shadows on the inside of the paper tube. This is often referred to as a "Mercator Projection". This results in distortion the further away from the equator you go. It can make Greenland appear to be larger than North America.
