This is due to the distortions caused by taking a 3 dimensional sphere and converting it to a 2 dimensional layout.
A map is not a three dimensional representation of earth's surface. The best three dimensional representation of earth's surface is a globe or a topographical map.
:9 true
no it is not true. there is solid iron and nickel in the Earths core
The Earth is a sphere, and true distances cannot be translated from a 3-dimensional form to a flat surface. Some maps are a form of the "gores" that can be cut from a globe to form a flat surface. But most use some form of projection that displays some aspects of the actual surface with some accuracy.The smaller the area of the map, the less the curvature, which reduces the errors introduced.
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.

No, maps are two-dimensional representations of the Earth's surface. They show the location of features, such as countries, cities, rivers, and mountains, using symbols and colors to represent real-world objects. Three-dimensional representations are more commonly referred to as globes.
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
true
No, there are many different projections.
no
true
true
Idk
it remains unchanged
True North
True north runs from any point on the earths surface to the North Pole.
