What shows earths curved surface on a flat map?

To show Earth's curved surface on a flat map, cartographers use mathematical projections that distort the shape, size, distance, or direction of the map. Common projections include Mercator, Robinson, and Peters, each with its own strengths and weaknesses in representing the curved Earth on a two-dimensional map.


What causes wind to follow a curved path over earth's surface?

The Coriolis force, a result of the earth's rotation, causes wind to follow a curved path over the earth's surface. As air moves across the rotating earth, its direction is deflected, causing winds to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This causes the curved paths of winds commonly observed on the earth's surface.


When a block of material moves down slope along a curved surface the type of mass movement is called what?

When a block of material moves down slope along a curved surface, it is called a rockslide. This type of mass movement involves the rapid sliding or falling of a coherent rock mass along a well-defined surface.


What is the term for a rapid mass movement that flows downhill over a curved surface?

The term for a rapid mass movement that flows downhill over a curved surface is known as a debris flow. These can be triggered by heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, leading to a swift and destructive flow of materials down slopes.


Equal areas of which surface will absorb the most insolation?

A flat surface will absorb the most insolation since it has the maximum surface area exposed to the sun's rays. In contrast, a curved surface will have less surface area exposed to the sun, resulting in lesser insolation absorption over the same area.
