So, the basic answer to your question is: a "flat" map projection causes the distortion of land masses due to the allocation of space within it. First, it is important to know that there is only one accurate form of map projection: a globe. However, using a globe (either virtually or physically) can be very inconvenient. The solution is to use a "flat" map. However, the use of this "flat" map comes with the disadvantage of either distorting the shape or size of different land masses, since it is physically impossible to project a round object (land mass) and make it flat without altering its physical characteristics (shape or size).

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form, ________________.
Simora [160]

The answer is B.

During plate tectonics, cracks may occur in the earth crust that causes magma to rise up from the mantle. The cracks may also cause cracks to form on the crust that makes outlet channels for the magma in magma chambers. These result in volcanic eruptions on the surface of the earth that form volcanic features such as mountains.
