Question

Which is a characteristic of maps of very large areas?

Maps of large areas require too much detail to be useful.


Projecting a round earth on a flat map results in distortions of scale and the shape of landmasses.


Lines of latitude and longitude cannot be shown on maps of large areas.


Large areas are impossible to draw accurately because they cannot be seen except from outer space.

Answer 1

C. Projecting a round earth on a flat map results in distortions of scale and the shape of landmasses.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a map to show the larger area they must be represented by the entire earth and which may result in the large areas of lands being distorted a the northern ends.

As to project, the earth on a sheet of paper needs the preservation of several qualities of the areas and the larger maps thus show a detail of the small areas as compared to the large scale map that shows us the small area on large scale.

The maps that are drawn to the shape and size distort the same areas on the globe. Thus scale is important in determining the use of the maps.
