Geography
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
6 0

In other words, a map projection systematically renders a 3D ellipsoid (or spheroid) of Earth to a 2D map surface. ... Because you can't display 3D surfaces perfectly in two dimensions, distortions always occur. For example, map projections distort distance, direction, scale, and area.

In cartography, a map projection is a way to flatten a globe's surface into a plane in order to make a map. This requires a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations from the surface of the globe into locations on a plane.

Top 10 World Map Projections

-Mercator. This projection was developed by Gerardus Mercator back in 1569 for navigational purposes. ...

-Robinson. This map is known as a 'compromise', it shows neither the shape or land mass of -countries correct. ...

brilliants [131]
The answer is divergent boundary.

Divergent boundaries happen when two plates move apart from each other. Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other. Stationary boundaries are when two plates are too weak to take over each other. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide.
