Answer:
Map projections
Step-by-step explanation:
Its a systematic transformation of the latitude and longitudes from the surface of a sphere to the locations on plain. Map is created from drawing the projections. Depending upon the projections and the area to be shown some distortions may be allowed keeping the idea of Shape, direction, bearing , distance , scale and area.
Various classification have been emerged like :
Preserving direction (azimuthal or zenithal),
Preserving shape locally (conformal or orthomorphic).
Preserving area (equal-area or equiareal or equivalent or authalic).
Preserving distance (equidistant).
Preserving shortest route, a trait preserved only by the gnomonic projection
