Why are maps less accurate at showing earths surface than globe

History
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The maps are the 2 dimensional representation of the earth's surface. This maps are often used to show the earth's surface. But in order to do so, there occurs distortion while projecting on a map. Some of the properties of the map that gets distorted are as follows-

(1) Distance

(2) Direction

(3) Shape

(4) Area

These distortion occurs because earth is spherical in shape. So, while projecting it gets distorted in the polar and the equatorial region mostly, as the pole appears to be larger in size and shape. The direction is also affected.

Due to this reasons, the maps are not so accurate in showing the earths surface, in comparison to a globe.

In my opinion, I think the bombs being dropped were necessary. Japan had a strict military system that was hard to make them surrender. It included dying for your country was the most honor you would ever live for and that if you were selected to be a fighter or suicide flyer that you would have to or face serious consequences, not just for you, but extreme humiliation for your family. Truman saw this as we can invade and lose our lives too(American lives) or go to a speedy end to WW2 by dropping the atomic bomb.
