Changes in map orientation, such as rotating or flipping the map, do not alter the actual position or shape of landmasses on the map. The relative positions of the landmasses to each other remain the same regardless of the orientation of the map. However, changing the orientation can affect the perception of distances and directions between the landmasses, potentially leading to confusion if not carefully considered. Ultimately, the actual geography of the landmasses depicted on the map does not change with alterations in orientation.

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.
