What is the most accurate representation of the earth?
A globe is the most accurate representation of the earth.
A representation of the Earth or part of the Earth on a flat surface?
A representation of the earth or part of the earth on a flat surface is known as a map.
Why is the Earth warm?
The Earth receives light, energy and warmth from the sun. Additionally, Earth still benefits from the decay of radioactive materials in its interior, and tidal distortions do their part in adding frictional energy.
How do the spheres interact to support life on earth?
without one sphere it wouldnt be a system
Why is magnetic field important to earth?
because if it didnt have one than we wouldnt have dildos
Which representation of earth would have any distortions?
A three-dimensional representation
What represents the earth that would not have any distortions?
A globe.
Why do two-dimensional maps of Earth have distortions?
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
Why is a globe more accurate than a flat map to represent Earths surface?
A globe is more accurate than a flat map because it maintains the true shape of Earth, which is a sphere. Flat maps distort the size and shape of countries and continents, especially those closer to the poles. Globes provide a more accurate representation of relative sizes and distances across the Earth's surface.
Why did people develop a variety of maps for studying and displaying information about earth?
The Earth is a sphere. Maps are flat. Therefore when you try and make a representation of a sphere (the Earth) as a flat map, you introduce some distortions. The process of making a flat map from a sphere is called projection and there are a number of different projections that you can use, each with different distortions (e.g. an equal area projection, a Mercator projection etc). Therefore you need a variety of maps (projections) depending on what you want to use the map for.
What is the most accurate representation of the earth?
A globe is the most accurate representation of the earth.
What is a representation of earth surface?
A flat representation of the Earth's surface is called an atlas or a map.
What major problems must mapmakers overcome?
The Earth being spherical, any flat representation generates distortions such that shapes and areas cannot both be conserved simultaneously, and distances can never all be preserved. The mapmaker must choose a suitable map projection.
What is the name of this planet?
The planet we are on right now is Earth. okay but what if it was earth wouldnt that be cool
What is a symbolic representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth surface called?
A symbolic representation of the earth's surface or part of the earth surface is called map.
A representation of the Earth or part of the Earth on a flat surface?
A representation of the earth or part of the earth on a flat surface is known as a map.
Why is a globe the best representation of the earth?
Globe is the best representation of the earth because it shows the shape of the earth, which is spherical and it makes it easy to show how the earth revolves and rotates.
