Answer:

Mercator projection

Explanation:

Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that  is our planet has always been a challenge.  The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.

There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too.  The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.

What are some of the responsibilities of state governments in the United States? What do these states control within their bound
Tamiku [17]
States create their own laws, states have their own constitution, land and county governments. The state law stands unless a federal law overwrites it. States have their own transportation departments (make the roads, plan the roads, repair the roads).
