Why do two-dimensional maps of Earth have distortions?

Two-dimensional maps of Earth have distortions because they attempt to represent a three-dimensional surface (the Earth) on a flat plane. This distortion occurs due to the challenge of converting a curved surface onto a flat surface. Different map projections have different advantages and trade-offs in terms of preserving features like shape, area, distance, or direction.

How are maps and models different?

Models are three dimensional prototypes that help the viewer see a smaller scale of a detailed area. Maps are usually one dimensional and contain directions from a view that would not show great detail.

What do physical relief maps show?

Physical relief maps show the terrain and elevation of a specific geographic area. They use colors and contour lines to depict the topography, such as mountains, valleys, and plains. These maps provide a visual representation of the three-dimensional landscape on a two-dimensional surface.
