What is a shape on the surface of the earth called?
It is called a landform.
What means Math that deals with the measurement of the earth?
The branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of the Earth is called "geodesy." It involves the study of the Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field. Geodesy combines principles from geometry, physics, and engineering to accurately measure and represent the Earth's surface, enabling applications in navigation, mapping, and understanding tectonic movements.
What is the terrestrial coordinate system?
The terrestrial coordinate system is a geographic coordinate system used to specify locations on the Earth's surface using latitude and longitude. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. This system allows for precise navigation and mapping by providing a standardized framework to identify any point on Earth. It is essential for various applications, including cartography, navigation, and geographical information systems (GIS).
What do cartographers do with coordinate planes?
They project the surface of a sphere (the Earth) using a projection. Often the latitudes and longitudes are mapped onto the coordinate plane for small area but such projections distort shapes when mapping larger areas.
What is the shape of the earth's surface to include it's landforms and bodies of water called?
A globe or a sphere perhaps?

What is the system for the mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
projection map
What is a system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface is called a map projection. Map projections are used to represent the Earth's curved surface on a two-dimensional map. Different map projections have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose of the map.
What is mapping of the earth's surface is called?
It is known as cartography.
What is the mapping the earth's surface called?
GPS
What is the measurement and mapping of the earth's surface called?
Cartography or Geodesy .
What is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface?
it is a robinson projection
