Final answer:

Maps cannot show all the three-dimensional features accurately because they are two-dimensional.

Step-by-step explanation:

A map is a flat representation of all or part of the planet. However, unlike globes, maps cannot show all the three-dimensional features accurately because they are two-dimensional. For example, maps cannot show the actual height and depth of mountains, canyons, or other geological features on a flat surface.
