Question

Which model of earth does not distort surface features? A conical projection b cylindrical projection c a globe d a map

Answer 1

Answer:

A globe model of earth does not distort surface features.

Explanation:

• A conical projection involves projection of maps of Earth's surface on a surrounding cone and then flattened into a plane surface having concentric circles with latitudes and longitudes.

• Here distortion happens at poles where the conic projections leave the polar regions.

• Cylindrical projection involves projections of Earth's surface onto a cylinder with globe centered horizontally.

• Distortion occurs maximum at poles and minimum at the equator. A globe is a presentation of a celestial body Earth.

• It does not distort the surface but just scales. A map is the systematic projection of latitudes and longitudes onto a plane.

• Depending upon the projection used, a map is distorted to some angle.

Answer 2

C a globe doesn't distort
