For one thing maps are something you carry with you when you are traveling. You can simply keep a map in your pocket or bag get it out when you need it and fold it into a nice tight package when you don't. A globe would have to be very big to be useful under most circumstances and would be a haste to Cary around.

Why are maps more useful than globes are for studying small areas on the surface of earth?
because globes just show the conatents and maps show routs and ways to go
How do globes help us?
Globes are much more realistic and accurate than flat maps.
Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
Why are globes better than maps?
because they show more detail
How are maps more useful than globes?
A globe may show the earth without the distortion found in paper maps, but it is easier to fold a paper map and put it into your rucksack when outdoors. Also, paper maps are easier to reprint to show the changes that have occurred since the last map survey - usually by satellite imaging surveys, nowadays.
Why do goegraphers often use flat maps rather than globes?
Globes are inconvenient and hard to work with. Geographers (and other people) sacrifice accuracy for convenience by using a two-dimensional projection which is more portable.
Explain why map are more useful than globes?
I need to assume you mean a flat map because a globe is a map or as theFreeDictionary.com says: a sphere on which a map (especially of the earth) is represented. When demonstrating airline flight patterns globes are definitely more useful. The reason is because flat maps are not as accurate as globes in true distance and that is what is being demonstrated in the flight pattern example. If you have ever seen flight patterns on a flat map you will notice that they are curved. This seems like they are going farther than they need to, but they are actually going a shorter distance and taking into account the curvature of the Earth.
How is a map more useful than a globe?
map is more useful than a globe because it is more convenient to find a place in a map instead of a globe which is like a ball in shape.Plus in a globe the minor towns and roads are not available.So its more accurate. Flat maps are better than globes because flat maps are more easily transported. They are also easier to use when calculating distances. A flat world map will allow you to look at the whole earth at one time. It helps people to understand where each country lies in relation to the others. It is easier to measure distances from place to place. You can't fold a globe making it easier to transport or carry.

Is globe more advantageous than map?

Explain why maps are more useful than globes for studying small areas on the surface of earth?
There are many pros and cons to maps and globes. Globes are the most accurate way to represent the earth. If your using a map it depends on what kind of map projection you are using. Some of the three most common map projections are : Conic:............fartic:.............. Flat plane:....................................

What does a celestial globe help us do?
Globes are more accurate than maps, even though the lines of Latitude and Longitude on a flat map is curved, on a globe, you can clearly see that Greenland is NOT larger than the United States. Like Columbus failed: The earth is round, not flat.
