Is distortion greater with a small scale map or a large scale map?
Map distortion is due to the fact that the earth's surface is curved but maps are flat. The more curved the surface that a map represents, the more distortion. For the same size map, one with a smaller scale encompasses a larger surface area of the earth when compared to one with a larger scale. Therefore, the one with a smaller scale will have more distortion.
