Since the earth is 3 dimensional and is represented on a flat surface, there will be a few distortions

Why are there distortion on maps?
Because a map is flat and a globe is round
Why do flat maps show distortion sixth grade?
i dont know lol
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.
Is the globe is not the most accurate of all maps.?

Heavy distortion
What problem cause by maps dimensional?

Distortion
What does all maps lie flat and all flat maps lie means?
When maps lie flat, they lie because they aren't accurate representations of earth. It means all maps have some distortion- when put flat, it distorts the shape of the land because the earth is actually a sphere.
There are five areas of possible distortion in drawing maps?
The answer is the surface
Distortion is especially severe on what kind of map?
world maps
Why are there distortion on maps?
Because a map is flat and a globe is round
Does maps or globes show the exact shapes?
Globes usually depict reality. Maps usually have some distortion to them.
Two dimensional maps usually show in area shape or scale?
distortion
Why do flat maps show distortion sixth grade?
i dont know lol
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!
How do cartographers attempt to deal with problems with maps?
They use different projections to minimize distortion
