30. EARTH – Keeping Our Maps Accurate

31. Why does a globe show the Earth more accurately than a map?
A globe is the same shape as Earth, so it represents it accurately.

32. GLOBES A sphere with a map printed on it. Same shape as the Earth
Sizes and shapes are accurate.
Not so easy to take with you.
Flat maps are more useful, but
map projections of the world
always distort.
- Maps can be much more detailed and specific.

33. The Mapmakers: Cartographers
