Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1LC
To determine
The imperfection in a map from that of a globe in representing the Earth’s surface.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1LC
The transformation of the Earth from three-dimensional to two-dimensional body to create a map may leave behind distortions in any of the factors such as distance, direction, shape, or size and is considered not as perfect as a globe.
Explanation of Solution
A globe can be defined as a spherical or three-dimensional illustration of the Earth. Therefore, it becomes possible to represent the correct size, shape, direction, and distance of various features of the Earth on a globe.
Map reproduces the Earth in a two-dimensional form on a flat surface. When a three-dimensional body is transformed to two-dimensional body, there are more chances of distortions in size, shape, distance, or direction. It is due to this reason that a map is not considered as a perfect representation of the Earth as a globe.
