Answer:

Africa appears much bigger than the other landmasses on the Peters map projection.

Explanation:

There are numerous projection maps. All of them have some advantages and some disadvantages. One of those map projections in the Peters map projection or Gal-Peters map projection. This map projection's biggest problem is that it stretches certain parts of the world, some horizontally, some vertically.

On this map projection, Africa looks much bigger than it is, and it is comparable with the size of Asia even though Asia is much bigger in reality. The reason for this is that on the Peters map projection a vertical stretching occurrs around the Equator, and since the Equator passes around the middle of Africa the effect is the biggest at this landmass.

kap26 [50]
Most countries in SA speak either spanish or portuguese as well as being largely of the Catholic faith due to the conversion practices of the Catholic missionaries however the arrival of the Europeans also caused the spread of diseases such as smallpox that decimated the native population. This massive population lost saw to it that the culture and and large native american empires in SA including the Inca and the Aztecs.
