What else can I help you with?
Cartographers can represent the spherical Earth on flat paper by making a which is like casting shadows from the spherical world onto a flat piece of paper?
It is a drawing of the earth on a flat surface
Why are all maps distorted?
Cause a map is flat, and the Earth is curved. Can't force a curved image onto a flat surface w/o losing something.
What do you call a flat map earth's round surface?
guff
What is a representation of earth surface?
A flat representation of the Earth's surface is called an atlas or a map.
What is a flat graphic representation of location on earth?
map
What is system for mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
mercator
Which cartographic device when deployed on a map will tell you its scale?
A scale bar is a cartographic device that is typically included on a map to show the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the Earth's surface. This allows users to determine the size and dimensions of features represented on the map.
Is a method used by early map makers to represent the world on a flat surface?
Map projection

How many type of scale in geography?
There are generally three types of scales in geography: map scale, geographical scale, and cartographic scale. Map scale refers to the relationship between a distance on a map and the actual distance on Earth. Geographical scale refers to the level of geographical area being studied, from local to global. Cartographic scale refers to the level of detail and accuracy represented on a map.
What is cartographic object?
A cartographic object is any element represented on a map, such as roads, rivers, cities, or boundaries. These objects help in providing spatial information and context on a map for effective communication of geographic data.
Why did Ptolemy not need to be concerned about distortion from projections because his map was based on?
a flat Earth.
What is a flat map called that represents a portion of the round earth?
A flat map that represents a portion of the round earth is called a "map projection". Map projections are used to display the three-dimensional earth on a two-dimensional surface, like a paper map.
What is a Mercator map?
A way of showing the sphere on the earth on the flat surface of a map.
What is way to map an earth on a flat surface?
Maps
Why is the globe the most accurate representation of earth?
It is not the most accurate but it is close enough for general use. The Earth is not a perfect sphere. But a globe is better than a flat map because the Earth is not flat. If you map only covers a very small part of the Earth then a flat map is usually good enough but if the map is to portray countries and continents then if it remains flat it will distort either distances or areas or angles.
A representation of the Earth or part of the Earth on a flat surface?
A map is a representation of the Earth or part of the Earth on a flat surface, showing geographical features, locations, and boundaries. Maps use symbols and colors to convey information about the physical and political aspects of a particular area.
