A map projection is one of the various techniques used to flatten a spherical globe's surface into a plane sheet to create a map.
This process is a mathematical process because transformation of the locations from the surface of the globe is done by considering the latitudes and longitudes of locations into the locations on a plane.
Hence, a mathematical process for transferring locations from a globe to a flat map is a <u>projection.</u>
Barrow Alaska is an example of a polar tundra climate that is marked by low vegetation growth, cold temperatures, low amounts of precipitation, and no true summer.
