When the picture of the world is put on to a flat piece of paper, the longitudes and latitude need to be stretched out a little bit. So sometimes the antarctic can seem bigger on some other maps.
A map of the streets and environs of a city.
what is the definition of transportation map? A directional representation of an region of the earth based on the average transportation routes
A map that shows what the different states have voted for throughout the years (Democratic or Republican.)
Also known as untruthful telling lies basically it is just bending the truth and changing the facts just a bit.
Drawn as if you were looking down on an area from above earths surface.
The distortion was that the Earth was round
when a earth's map in a circle the location will be one place.If you put the earth's map in a paper the location will be another place.thats the distortion of earth.
distortion
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.
When a curved surface, such as the Earth's surface, is transferred to a flat map, distortion occurs. This distortion can affect the shape, size, distance, and direction of features on the map, known as map projection. Different map projections are used to minimize these distortions for specific purposes.
A small area map.
A change in the accuracy of shapes and distances on a map is called distortion. Distortion occurs because it is impossible to represent the Earth's curved surface on a flat map without some degree of distortion in shape, size, or distance.
Distortion
a map that has very little distortion in the areas or shapes of landmasses that fall along a certain line of latitude is called a map projection.
There is always some distortion.
The stretching, bending, and enlarging of areas on a map due to the curvature of the earth.
On a flattened map of the Earth's surface, like a Mercator projection, the distortion is everywhere except the equator, and grows as it gets closer to the Poles.
