What else can I help you with?
Why do maps and globes show the earth in different ways?
Because you can't the same size and shape at the same time.
Distortion is especially severe on what kind of map?
Distortion is especially severe on maps that use the Mercator projection, such as world maps. This projection distorts the size and shape of landmasses, particularly near the poles.
What maps show how high or low the surface of the earth is by shading each elevation a different color?
Elevation maps, also known as topographic maps, use shading to represent different elevations of the Earth's surface. Typically, higher elevations are shaded with darker colors, while lower elevations are shaded with lighter colors. These maps provide a visual representation of the physical features of the landscape.
What kind of maps are there?
Geographical, physical, and political maps
What maps use colors and shading to show elevation and altitude?
Topographic maps use colors and shading to display elevation and altitude. Typically, darker shades represent lower elevations, while lighter shades indicate higher elevations. This allows users to easily visualize the terrain and elevation changes in a particular area.

A method of showing relief is by?
Shading is a method for representing relief on maps in a natural, aesthetic, and intuitive.

Why do flat maps have distortions?
because there has to be some kind of distortion of earths spherical shape
What do the different shadings on the maps indicate?
Shading and contour lines are an attempt by the map makers to show the terrain covered by the map.
What are the limitations of Maps?
ground clutter and evaporation are the limitations of radar maps
Different kind of maps?
Political Maps Mobility Maps Transit maps Thematic Maps Inventory Maps

What type of map shows mountains hills plains rivers lakes oceans and other features of an area?
There are two types of maps that show landforms. Physical maps show landforms using shading, while topographical maps use contour lines.
