Does all map of earth distort the shapes and sizes of landmasses?
All flat maps do, globes do not.
What feature is distorted on an equal area map?
Landmasses , map projections that show the correct size of landmasses are called equal-area maps. In order to show the correct size of the landmasses, the map usually distort shapes . This distortion is usually greater at the edges of the map and less at the center
Does a globe or map show the size of continents landmasses and bodies of water accurately?
A globe provides a more accurate representation of the size of continents, landmasses, and bodies of water compared to a flat map. Maps distort the size of landmasses as they try to represent a spherical Earth on a flat surface, causing inaccuracies, especially near the poles.
Where are landmasses distorted on a gnomic project?
Gnomic Projections distort near poles.
What properties do maps distort?
Since the world is round, flat maps (rectangular maps) distort the sizes of continents by making them larger than they actually are.

Why do flat maps distort Earth's surface?
They distort the surface because they are flat, while the surface is not.
Why do maps distort the distance?
routes change all the time
What is the main difference between different types of maps projections?
the way that they display landmasses
All flat maps are projections that must distort at least one what properties?
yes
What type of map may distort size but represents something other than the true land area?
Relative population density maps, height elevation maps, and mineral deposit maps are all I can think of.
All flat maps are projections that must distort at least one what properties distance shape size and what else?
DIRECTION
