Yes, that is correct.

The shape of the globe is a sphere.
distortion of a size, shape, distance, or area occurs.
size, shape, direction, distance
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
The shape of a globe is a SPHERE.
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.
