They use pencils silly, but the world is flat. If it were round you would of falled off.
A flat map that represents a portion of the round earth is called a "map projection". Map projections are used to display the three-dimensional earth on a two-dimensional surface, like a paper map.
No, Jacques Cartier did not invent the flat map. The concept of representing the Earth's surface on a flat piece of paper has been around for centuries and evolved over time with contributions from various cartographers and explorers. Cartier was a French explorer who is known for exploring Canada in the 16th century, but he did not invent the flat map.
A flat representation of the Earth is called a map projection. The surface of the Earth cannot be accurately represented on a flat surface, so there are various way to approximate it. The different way are called projections.
Using a projection.
The belief that the Earth was flat was disproved by new explorations, such as the circumnavigation of the globe by Magellan's expedition in the 16th century. This journey showed that the Earth is round, not flat.
Cartographers an represent the spherical Earth on flat paper by making a projection, which is like casting shadows from the spherical world onto a flat piece of paper.

Cartographers use map projections to represent the curved surface of the Earth on a flat map. Different map projections distort the size, shape, distance, or direction of features on the map to varying degrees. Each projection has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose of the map.
