The main problem is that the earth is approximately spherical and therefore maps covering large areas suffers from distortions due to projection from 3-D to 2-D.

What is a flat diagram of the earth's surface?
For maps, it's usually a projection.
What problem is caused by maps two-dimensional?

What problem is cause by maps two-dimensional?
Distortion
Why do two-dimensional maps of earth have distorted?
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
Why do two-dimensional maps of Earth have distortions?
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
What is caused by maps being two-dimensional?
You guys are f*cking idiots if you don't know this end of story
What is caused by maps to be two dimensional?
Maps covering a large area suffer from "barrel distortion". In the usual layout of maps, East-West distances are compressed near the equator and exaggerated as you move towards the poles.
What problem is caused by maps being two demensional?
Elevations (heights) are not easily represented.
Two dimensional maps show what?
Planar projection
What are 3-dimensional maps called?
A three dimensional map of terrain is called a raised relief map.
What are relief maps used for?
such a map is a three dimensional representation of the terrain
Is it true that maps are three-dimensional representations of earths surface?
No. A map is only two-dimensional, length and width. A globe is a three-dimensional representation of the earth's surface
