What else can I help you with?
What is a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional land surface?
A contour map, possibly.
What percent of earth's surface is land?
It's about 25-30 percent land.
How do you get the square footage of land when the land is 150ft width by 480.47 length by 406.25 by 69.94 by 101.67?
You cannot get the square footage of land which is measured in 5 dimensions. In fact I am not sure where you would find 5-dimensional land.
What is measured in mm squared?
Millimeters squared (mm²) is a unit of area measurement used to quantify the size of a two-dimensional surface. It is commonly used in various fields, such as engineering, architecture, and manufacturing, to measure small areas, like the surface area of components or materials. For instance, the area of a small piece of land, a printed circuit board, or the cross-sectional area of wires can be expressed in mm².
Total surface area of Texas?
Land 261914 sq. mi.
What is a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional land surface?
A contour map, possibly.
What is the only completely accurate representation of earth a flat map or globe?
Generally speaking, and if you are talking about representing the whole of earth's surface in one mapping, it would be a globe. But for many purposes a globe would have to be impractically large in order to match the precision of various other maps made for specialized purposes and covering smaller areas.
What is the definition of a world contour map?
A world contour map shows the elevation or depth of land and ocean floor features using contour lines. These lines connect points of similar elevation or depth to provide a visual representation of the terrain in a two-dimensional format. World contour maps help in understanding the topography and bathymetry of the Earth's surface.
Square acre of land?
There can be no answer. Square acre is a measure in 4-dimensional hyperspace. Land is not 4-dimensional and we cannot perceive 4-d space.
Why do maps distort land masses?
Maps distort land masses because it is impossible to accurately represent a three-dimensional object (Earth) on a two-dimensional surface (paper or screen). This distortion occurs because of the challenge in projecting a curved surface onto a flat plane, leading to inaccuracies in representing the true sizes and shapes of land masses. Different map projections are used to minimize distortion in specific areas, but some level of distortion will always be present in map representations.
What are the things a planimetric map useful?
Planimetric maps are useful for providing visual representation of physical features on a flat surface, facilitating navigation and spatial analysis. They are commonly used in urban planning, land surveying, architectural design, and infrastructure development. These maps depict two-dimensional features such as roads, buildings, rivers, and boundaries with accuracy for planning and decision-making purposes.
Why do mapmakers have to choose between showing the correct land shapes or instances on the Earth?
Mapmakers have to deal with the challenge of representing a three-dimensional object (Earth) on a two-dimensional surface (map). This leads to distortions in either land shapes or sizes, known as map projection distortion. Mapmakers have to prioritize either preserving shapes or accurately representing sizes when choosing a map projection.
What term refers to all the land surface of the earth?
The term that refers to all the land surface of the earth is "Lithosphere."
How much of earths surface is covered in land?
About one third of the land surface of the earth is desert.
Why are all maps of the world distorted?
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
What role does land play in affecting surface currents?
Land is above the waterline. No surface currents can flow over land.
How much of earth's land surface is desert?
About 33% of the earth's land surface is covered by deserts. That's 1/3 of the surface.
