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 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.


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.

Is three fourths most of our earth is land?

No, three-fourths (or 75%) of the Earth's surface is actually covered by water, primarily in the form of oceans. Land constitutes about one-fourth (or 25%) of the Earth's surface. Therefore, the majority of the Earth is made up of water, not land.


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.
