The Earth’s three-dimensional surface is commonly represented in two dimensions through maps and globes. Maps use various projections, like the Mercator or Robinson projection, to depict the curved surface of the Earth on flat surfaces, while globes provide a more accurate representation of geographical features. These representations help visualize and understand spatial relationships, distances, and orientations on the Earth's surface.

Yes, in geometry, the concept of space includes three dimensions: length, width, and height. Soils, as physical entities found on Earth, also exist in three dimensions. This means that soils have depth, width, and length, making them three-dimensional objects.
