What map shows elevations and land contour?

A topographic map shows elevations and land contours. It uses contour lines to represent the three-dimensional shape of the terrain on a two-dimensional surface, indicating the height of the land above sea level. These lines help visualize the steepness of slopes and the overall relief of the area. Additionally, topographic maps often include features like rivers, roads, and vegetation.


What Gives you the most accurate representations of distances and shapes of the Earth's surfaces?

If you want to see Earth as a whole, a globe (or 3-D model) is the most accurate representation because the Earth's shape is spherical. Since a flat map cannot accurately take the shape of the round globe some of the things on the map can appear distorted in shape, and can make some land masses appear larger than others when they are not.


Is it true or false that the Robinson projection shows land and water areas without distorting them?

False. The Robinson projection is a compromise map projection that aims to minimize distortion in size, shape, and distance, but it does not eliminate distortion entirely. While it provides a visually appealing representation of the world, both land and water areas are still subject to some degree of distortion.
