What do map projections have in common?
distortion
Which map has less distortion a small area map or a large area map?
A small area map.
What is map distortion?
The stretching, bending, and enlarging of areas on a map due to the curvature of the earth.
What is the limitation to any map?
There is always some distortion.
Distortion on a map may change the shape of?
some landmasses
What cartographers represent the three dimensional earth in two dimensions what i likely to occur?
Distortion of shapes, sizes, and distances is likely to occur when cartographers represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional map. This distortion is known as map projection, where different map projections prioritize different aspects such as area, distance, or direction. It is impossible to accurately represent the spherical Earth on a flat map without some degree of distortion.
What is another word for map makers?
Cartographers
When cartographers represent the three dimensional earth two dimensions what is likely to occur?
When cartographers represent the three-dimensional Earth in two dimensions, distortions in the shape, size, distance, or direction of geographic features are likely to occur. This is because it is impossible to accurately capture the true nature of the Earth's surface on a flat map without some form of distortion. Different map projections are used to minimize specific types of distortion depending on the purpose of the map.
Who created the map?
Cartographers
What are map producers called?
Cartographers.
What are cartagrahpers?
Cartographers are map makers.
Why do cartographers need to use map projections?
Because it's almost impossible to make a 3D object correctly placed in 2D. The different map projections are different people trying to be the most correct on their map projections. There's always going to be distortion... each projection has its pros and cons.
Which way of drawing a flat map that helps to reduce distortion?
One effective way to draw a flat map that reduces distortion is the use of the Robinson projection. This projection balances size and shape distortions, providing a more visually appealing representation of the world. It minimizes distortion in both area and distance, making it suitable for general reference maps. Other projections, like the Winkel Tripel, also aim to reduce distortion across various aspects, but no flat map can completely eliminate all types of distortion.
What does cartographers use to show the meaning of map symbols?
map keys
What was a cartographers job in the middle ages?

A method of transferring portions of the globe to a flat map is?
Using a projection.
