Because a map is flat and a globe is round
What else can I help you with?
Why do flat maps show distortion sixth grade?
i dont know lol
Why do all maps have distortion?
Since the earth is 3 dimensional and is represented on a flat surface, there will be a few distortions
What problem do maps have that globes do not?
Maps that are projected on a plane surface will exhibit distortions in distance, area and direction which might be neglible over a small area such as a town or city, but can be substantial over larger areas. Cartographers compensate for these distortions in a number of ways, but usually one type of distortion is sacrificed to create accuracy in another dimension. Globes do not exhibit these distortions, but nearly all globes are made perfectly spherical which, in itself, introduces a slight distortion since Earth is a bit flattened at the poles.
Where is the greatest distortion on a Mercator projection?
On a mereator projection the greatest distortion is produced
Can the visual distortion called barrel distortion be corrected by eyeglasses?
Yes, according to my optometrist
What problem cause by maps dimensional?
Distortion
What problem is caused by maps two-dimensional?
Distortion
What problem is cause by maps two-dimensional?
Distortion
Distortion is especially severe on what kind of map?
Distortion is especially severe on maps that use the Mercator projection, such as world maps. This projection distorts the size and shape of landmasses, particularly near the poles.
There are five areas of possible distortion in drawing maps?
The answer is the surface
What are the 4 types of distortion of a map?
The four types of distortion in maps are shape distortion, area distortion, distance distortion, and direction distortion. These distortions occur due to the challenge of transferring a three-dimensional surface onto a two-dimensional map.
Why do flat maps show distortion sixth grade?
i dont know lol
Two dimensional maps usually show in area shape or scale?
distortion
What is the map projection with the least amount of distortion near the pole?
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
Unfortunately two-dimensional maps usually show in area shape or scale?
distortion
How do cartographers attempt to deal with problems with maps?
They use different projections to minimize distortion
Unfortunately two dimensional maps usually shows what in area shape or scale?
distortion
