Your momma is a cylindrical projection. oooh. burn.

A globe is tells you the continents but actuall a map is better because it is smaller, cheap,and every detailed.
A map projection simply is a representation of the round, 3D surface of the earth onto a flat, 2D map. There are different map projections such as Mercator and Robinson each of which have advantages and disadvantages.The appropriate projection for a map depends on the scale of the map and the purposes for which it will be used. For example, a Mercator projection has straight rhumb lines and is therefore excellent for navigation, because compass courses are easy to determine, but there is distortion near the poles.
Advantages: pinpoint accuracy, air traffic, and the only way to get the north and south pole. Disadvantages: Makes countries look longer, distorted, and hard to understand.
Graphical scales offer several advantages, including easy interpretation, as users can quickly assess distances without needing to perform calculations. They remain accurate regardless of map size or zoom level, maintaining proportionality. Additionally, graphical scales can be more intuitive for users, allowing them to visualize distances directly on the map. Lastly, they are helpful in conveying information in a user-friendly manner, especially for those unfamiliar with numerical scales.
A cartogram is a distored map which exaggerate or shrink some countries according to the information the creator of the map is trying to display.
A cartogram is a map in which the information is shown in the geographical distribution of a map. The cartogram shows statistical information graphically
That type of map is called a cartogram. It distorts the geographical boundaries of areas based on a certain variable, such as population size, to represent data more accurately.
cartogram
A cartogram map in which some thematic mapping variable is substituted for land area. The geometry or space of the map is distorted in order to convey the information of this alternate variable. There are two main types of cartograms: area and distance cartograms. An area cartogram is sometimes referred to as a value-by-area map or an isodemographic map, the latter particularly for a population cartogram, which illustrates the relative sizes of the populations of the countries of the world by scaling the area of each country in proportion to its population. The shape and relative location of each country is retained to as large an extent as possible, but inevitably a large amount of distortion results. A distance cartogram may also be called a central-point cartogram. This form is typically used to show relative travel times and directions from vertices in a network.
You must be referring to a cartogram. This map places countries in population rather than size.
A cartogram thematic map is a type of map that distorts geographic areas based on a particular thematic variable, such as population or economic data. This distortion allows for a more accurate representation of the data, making it easier to visually compare different regions.
I believe it is "cartogram".
A cartogram is a map that substitutes a different measure for land area or distance. The map then is generally greatly distorted in order to convey the information using this alternate variable.
A world map drawn using this technique is called a "population cartogram". It distorts the geographical shape of countries to accurately represent their population size, providing a visual representation of the world based on population density rather than land area.
A distorted map in which regions are drawn not to an areal scale but to some other scale such as population. Some cartograms attempt to retain the shape of the geographical region they represent; others, such as the rectangular cartogram illustrated opposite, use a single shape to represent all regions of equal importance.
