Why are maps drawn from above (vertically) more accurate for measuring distance than maps drawn from the side (oblique)?

Geography
1 answer:
rodikova [14]2 years ago

Techniques for depicting terrain from directly above were developed for two primary reasons. First, the oblique view inherently hides some map features; a vertical view, by contrast, offers a view of all landscape features within the map frame. The vertical view also allows the map maker to position features appropriately in geographic space—thus providing concrete spatial information, rather than a more artistic visual representation.

In the vertical view, terrain is typically represented with contour lines. Contour lines drawn on a map connect points of equivalent elevation. Figure 6.4.1 demonstrates how contour lines relate to the landscape from which they are derived—note that the bottom image is a 2D rendering of what is presumed to be a regularly-shaped mountain feature.

If we were to discover that life exists elsewhere in the galaxy, would it be realistically possible to travel to their home plan
Rom4ik [11]
I think yes because that’s kinda of like when we travel to a different state after that we go back to our home state and also you can reference to astronauts when there done traveling from space they come back to earth. So I think yes because we can travel to different galaxies/ planets but we can still come back to our home planet after visiting that galaxy/ planet. Hope this helped!
