Question
which representation of earth would not have any distortions?
a. a topographic map
b. a three - dimensional representation
c. a planar projection
d. a cylindrical projection
A three - dimensional representation of the Earth, such as a globe, closely mimics the Earth's actual shape and has the least amount of distortion compared to maps which are two - dimensional representations. Topographic maps, planar projections, and cylindrical projections all involve some form of flattening or transformation of the Earth's curved surface onto a flat surface, leading to distortion in shape, area, distance, or direction.
