Only a globe can show true distance direction size and shape of landmasses all at the same time?
Yes, that is correct.
What are 3 plates and 2 landmasses of the world?
There are many more than just 3 plats and 2 landmasses in the world
What feature is distorted on an equal area map?
Landmasses , map projections that show the correct size of landmasses are called equal-area maps. In order to show the correct size of the landmasses, the map usually distort shapes . This distortion is usually greater at the edges of the map and less at the center
What is it called when wide straight or waterway between two landmasses that lies close together?
Genuine Vyneam Delta
What are some example of landmasses?
them things plants and stuff grow on. like islands and contenents and archapelago an stuff, right?
Distortion on a map may change the shape of?
some landmasses
How did the collision of two landmasses shape the landforms of northern India and southern Asia?
I had a coco nut
Only a globe can show true distance direction size and shape of landmasses all at the same time?
Yes, that is correct.
Which projection show shape of landmasses most accurately?
There is no map that shows all of the land masses correct shapes. Cylindrical projections will show land masses accurately if they are close to the equator. Planar will show them correctly at the center of the map. And conic projection will show the poles accurately. If you really need perfect sizes, use a globe (: hope that helped!
Where are the continent?
They are landmasses on Earth just like parts of the Earth. They are to divide earth into landmasses.
How does the size of landmass relates to species diversity?
Larger landmasses have greater diversity.
What representation of earth wouldn't have distortions?
A globe would be the most accurate representation of Earth without distortions as it shows the planet in three dimensions, preserving the true shape of landmasses and distances between them.
The part of Earth's rocky outer layer that makes up the landmasses is the what?
The part of Earth's rocky outer layer that makes up the landmasses is the what ?
What are the three nearest landmasses around Antarctica?
South America, New Zealand and Australia are among the nearest landmasses to Antarctica.
The ancient continent that contained all the landmasses is called what?
The ancient continent that contained all the landmasses is called Pangaea.
What are 3 plates and 2 landmasses of the world?
There are many more than just 3 plats and 2 landmasses in the world
When a landmass looks larger on a map than it does on the globe that change in shape is called?
That change in shape is called distortion. It occurs when representing the three-dimensional surface of the Earth on a two-dimensional map, leading to inaccuracies in the size and shape of landmasses.
