On a flat map where does the distortion occur?
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.
Why symbols important in map?
Shape size pattern colour orientation and value are important to mapping because they explain the map in more detail!
Where does an inference take place?
An inference takes place in an observation
How can you map the field around a magnetic nail?
Place a sheet of paper on top of it then drop some iron filings on the paper.
Does all science take place in laboratories?
no
What is a sentence for distortion an the word map?
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.
What distortion may map projections show?
The distortion was that the Earth was round
What do map projections have in common?
distortion
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.
What happens when a curved surface is transferred to a flat 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 change in the accuracy of shapes and distances on a map is called?
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.
Which map has less distortion a small area map or a large area map?
A small area map.
What are some of the problems with map projections?
Distortion
What map has very little distortion in the areas or shapes of landmasses that fall along a certain line of latitude?
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.
What is the limitation to any map?
There is always some distortion.
What is map distortion?
The stretching, bending, and enlarging of areas on a map due to the curvature of the earth.
On a flat map where does the distortion occur?
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.
