Do equidistant projection show distance and direction or size and shape correctly?
cicle\
What are the five properties of the global grid?
area distance shape direction scale
Math what is a translation?
moving a point or shape etc a distance in a certain direction
What three dimensional shape is globe?
The shape of the globe is a sphere.
What happens when the curves of a globe become straight lines on a map?
distortion of a size, shape, distance, or area occurs.
What are the four things a globe can accurately show?
size, shape, direction, distance
Why is the globe the only accurate way to represent the earth?
A globe is the most accurate representation of the Earth because it is a three-dimensional sphere that closely mirrors the actual shape of the planet. Flat maps distort the size and shape of landmasses when projecting a spherical surface onto a two-dimensional plane, resulting in inaccuracies in scale and distance.
Is any features missed out or chopped off when the globe became a map?
Yes, when the globe is flattened into a map, distortions occur, and some features are either stretched, compressed, or shifted. This can lead to inaccuracies in representations of size, shape, distance, or direction of features like continents, countries, and oceans. This distortion is most noticeable in polar areas, where landmasses near the poles appear larger than they actually are.
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!
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.
Which is a limitation of two-dimensional representations of Earth?
One limitation of two-dimensional representations of Earth is distortion, as it is impossible to accurately depict a curved surface on a flat plane without some form of distortion in areas like shape, area, distance, or direction. This can lead to inaccuracies in size and shape of landmasses and bodies of water.
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
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.
A globe is what shape?
The shape of a globe is a SPHERE.
Which map projection shows correct direction and shape but not size and distance?
B
Math what is a translation?
moving a point or shape etc a distance in a certain direction
What are the five properties of the global grid?
