The process of representing the round Earth on a flat surface is known as map projection. This involves mathematically transforming the three-dimensional surface of the Earth into a two-dimensional plane, which can lead to distortions in area, shape, distance, or direction. Various projection methods, such as Mercator or Robinson, each have their own advantages and trade-offs depending on the purpose of the map. Ultimately, no flat map can perfectly represent the Earth's curved surface without some compromise.
Making a map involves projecting the round globe surface onto a 2D flat surface to represent Earth's features accurately and in a way that can be easily understood. This process can lead to distortions in shape, size, or direction depending on the type of map projection used.
Its called a projection map
A map projection is a way to represent the curved surface of the Earth on the flat surface of a map.
We know the moon is round because of the way its surface appears when observed from Earth. Through telescopes and spacecraft, we can see that its shape is consistent with a sphere, curved in all directions. Additionally, the way shadows move across its surface during different phases further supports its roundness.
The Cenozoic era's surface was very bumpy and that when the Earth was flat. When the world started getting round Earths surface started getting flat, but that when there was a lot of earthquakes, which wiped out all the dinasours and made them exstinct.
Map projection
All locations on the surface of the planet is considered on the side of the earth. The earth is round and the outer surface is a side.
