All of them. You pick a mathematical rule to go from the sphere to the plane depending on what you want to use the map for. Each rule distorts different things. There are 100's that have been used. Common rules do not conserve area. Others do not maintain shapes.

A distortion on a map is when you transfer information from a curved suface to a flat suface losing some accuracy. Distortion is a change in shape, size, or position of a place when it's shown on a map. . . . In example . . . Transferring information from a globe to a map
because there has to be some kind of distortion of earths spherical shape
bias anomaly
The factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as the double-blinds. The factors try to explore the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
Since the world is round, flat maps (rectangular maps) distort the sizes of continents by making them larger than they actually are.

yes
They distort the surface because they are flat, while the surface is not.
DIRECTION
All flat maps do, globes do not.
The proof that distortion occurs is to peel an orange in one piece, and then flatten the skin.
B/c maps are flat, andthe Earth is round. You can't make a perfect image of a round object on a flat surface.
routes change all the time
both can tell us about worldSimilarities: they both distort the size of the planetDifferences: maps distort the shape, and depending on what type of map its area as well.
One advantage to using a globe is that you can more accurately determine distances than you can with a flat map. Flat maps distort the spherical surface and that distortion can be significant over long distances.
