PPT-Map Projections No map projection is perfect and all maps

distort a certain property Definition The representation of the globe on a two dimensional flat map All maps have four features that can be distorted that include Shape Size area distance and direction The reason for this being that there is no perfect way to represent a 3D object on a 2D plane Each different type of map sacrifices one or more of these properties to make a flat map . – .
