What determains the distance on a map?
Apart from sketch maps, maps are to scale. The distance on a map is a ratio of the distance in the real world.
How do topographic maps represents the earth's surface?
Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface because they show elevation in addition to distance and direction.
A blank is an isometry that maps all points of a figure the same distance in the same direction?
reflection
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance on maps and globes?
east and west
What graphic type does not distort or degrade?
Vector
What properties do flat maps distort?
Flat maps distort properties such as size, shape, distance, and direction of geographic features on the Earth's surface due to the challenge of representing a 3D spherical surface on a 2D plane. This distortion becomes more pronounced the further away from the equator you get.
What properties do maps distort?
Since the world is round, flat maps (rectangular maps) distort the sizes of continents by making them larger than they actually are.
All flat maps are projections that must distort at least one what properties distance shape size and what else?
DIRECTION
What do flat maps distort?
distance, shape, size, and direction......my human geography teacher also said distance, shape, size, area ... but the last time she said it, she said direction
Why do flat maps distort Earth's surface?
Flat maps distort Earth's surface because it is impossible to represent a curved, three-dimensional surface like the Earth's on a flat, two-dimensional map without some distortion occurring. Different map projections use different techniques to minimize distortion in certain areas, such as shape, area, distance, or direction, but there will always be some level of distortion present.
All flat maps are projections that must distort at least one what properties?
yes
Does all map of earth distort the shapes and sizes of landmasses?
All flat maps do, globes do not.
What type of map may distort size but represents something other than the true land area?
Relative population density maps, height elevation maps, and mineral deposit maps are all I can think of.
What determains the distance on a map?
Apart from sketch maps, maps are to scale. The distance on a map is a ratio of the distance in the real world.
Distance between cities?
There are many useful tools online to find distance between cities, such as Google maps, yahoo maps, bing maps, rac route finder. etc. The easiest way to find distance between cities is the using Google maps
Does showing the round earth on flat maps distort some images?
The proof that distortion occurs is to peel an orange in one piece, and then flatten the skin.
What is the driving distance from kissimmee to sanibel?
Ever hear of yahoo maps, or google maps, etc
