Is it true that only globes can show true distance direction size and shape of landmassses all at the same time?
Yes, it's true that globes represent true distance, direction, size, and shape of landmasses simultaneously because they are three-dimensional representations of the Earth. Unlike flat maps, which can distort these attributes due to the challenge of projecting a spherical surface onto a flat plane, globes maintain the integrity of geographic relationships. However, while globes provide accurate representations, they can be less practical for detailed navigation and viewing than flat maps.
What else can I help you with?
What are the five properties of the global grid?

Do equidistant projection show distance and direction or size and shape correctly?
cicle\
What happens to images on globes when they are transferred to a flat surface?
ovalish shape
What is the shape called where all the points all slide the same distance and direction?
The shape you're describing is called an "affine transformation." In geometric terms, when all points of a shape slide the same distance and direction, it is typically referred to as a "translation." This transformation preserves the shape and size of the object, maintaining its geometric properties while shifting its position in space.
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 geographers use globes?
Geographers use globes because they help them understand the shape of the home planet. Since globes are the same shape as the Earth, it is possible to create very accurate globes. Also to use it to know all the physical features there are on a state or continent it helps them understand earth.
What property of rigid transformations is exclusive to translations?
The property of rigid transformations that is exclusive to translations is that they maintain the direction and distance of points in a shape without altering their orientation. In a translation, every point of the shape moves the same distance in the same direction, resulting in a congruent shape that retains its original orientation. This contrasts with other rigid transformations, such as rotations and reflections, which can change the orientation of the shape.
