What is a shape on the surface of the earth called?
It is called a landform.
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?
Why do two dimensional maps of the earth have distortion?
The surface area pf the Earth is on a sphere, not a flat surface.
Why is the surface area of earth not changing?
The surface area of Earth remains relatively constant because the processes that shape the planet, such as plate tectonics, erosion, and sedimentation, balance each other out over geological time. While new land can form from volcanic activity and land can be lost to erosion, these changes do not significantly alter the total surface area. Additionally, the Earth's surface is a closed system, meaning that material is recycled rather than created or destroyed. Thus, the overall surface area remains stable.

Its called a projection map
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.

GPS
What is mapping of the earth's surface is called?
It is known as cartography.
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
