Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
B/c maps are flat, andthe Earth is round. You can't make a perfect image of a round object on a flat surface.
World capital cities can be found on maps or on things such as google maps, which shows up to date maps of all major cities and will show a person where the capitols are.
Yes, the Robinson projection distorts distance, shape, and size. It is a compromise projection that aims to balance distortions across the globe, making it useful for general-purpose world maps. However, it is not appropriate for accurate measurements or navigation.
Areas near the poles are most distorted on maps, as the projection of the Earth's curved surface onto a flat map causes significant distortion in these regions. This distortion is known as polar distortion and results in inaccuracies in size and shape of landmasses near the poles.
they are all distorted. distorted- misrepresented, garbled. ---- ur welcome! ; )
A map can be distorted by shapes, sizes, lines of latitude and longitude and politics,
Reference maps and Thematic maps are the broad categories of maps

they had a distorted map

I think it is distorted in land mass and shape
The Mercator projection World Map is the chart which is most distorted in the polar regions. Originally developed in the mid sixteenth century it was the most popular map for marine navigators for over 400 years. It is still useful for navigation at sea but has been supplanted by newer projections, especially after the advent of aviation navigation.

Maybe. It can be Madagascar or Greenland. Some maps can be distorted, so don't be fooled.
The mind altering drugs distorted Leo's perception of reality. The rain on my glasses distorted my vision. Various psychological problems distorted Ronaldo's view of the world. The teacher said the story had been distorted.
