What do map projections have in common?
distortion
Why are there different types of map projections?
=The curved surface of the earth cannot be shown accurately on a map because such a surface must be stretched or broken in some places as it is flattened. For this reason mapmakers use map projections.=
Why do cartographers use different map projections when presenting earth?
Map projections provide techniques to properly display features on maps, globes and atlases.
What are the other projections besides the mercator projection?
The other popular map projections include the so-called "compromise" projections, including: Robinson Winkel Tripel Dymaxion (Buckminster Fuller) Butterfly Map (Cahill) Kavrayskiy Wagner pseudocylindrical Chamberlin trimetric Fine's cordiform
What happens with all map projections as a larger area is shown?

What is a system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface is called a map projection. Map projections are used to represent the Earth's curved surface on a two-dimensional map. Different map projections have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose of the map.
What are some of the problems with map projections?
