The surface of the earth is the outside of a sphere, whereas the pages of an atlas are flat.
Right there, you have the fundamental problem common to all maps ... how best to represent
a curved surface on a flat picture. The answer is: In order to select one characteristic to depict
accurately, you have to distort most everything else.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the lines of latitude not curved?
there dome
Lines of latitude and longitude of Ecuador?
Look at a map in any atlas.
What direction do lines of longitude go?
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
When was Atlas Van Lines created?
Atlas Van Lines was created in 1948.
What are the curved lines?
Lines that is curved. E.G the outline of a circle.
Can curved lines form a vertex?
Yes. Sometimes it's good to think outside of the square. Lines of latitude on the Earth's surface are curved lines. They meet at two vertices which we call the North Pole and the South Pole. But even in Euclidean Geometry, the answer is yes. Consider a circle and a parabola. The point where they intersect is a vertex.
What is the curve line in the globe?
The curve line on a globe typically refers to the lines of latitude and longitude, which represent geographical coordinates. These lines are curved due to the spherical shape of the Earth, with lines of latitude running parallel to the equator and lines of longitude converging at the poles. This curvature helps accurately depict distances and angles on the Earth's surface. Additionally, great circles, which represent the shortest path between two points on a sphere, also appear as curved lines on a flat map or globe.
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Who was the Greek god Atlas Van Lines?
There is a titan, called Atlas
What is another name for an oval shape projection map?
A Robinson Projection Map - also called an orthophanic projection in which the lines of latitude are curved. It was created by a Canadian-born cartographer named Arthur Robinson (1915 - 2004). There is also a Mollweide projection - within an ellipse in which the lines of longitude are curved. That was devised by Karl Brandan Mollweide, a German from Wolfenbuttel (1774 - 1825).
