What are some advantages of a map?
what are 3 advantages an 3 disadvantages of map compared to a globe
What map shows accurate size and shape?
The "Peter Projection" (also called the Gall-Peters projection) has accurate relative areas but distorted shapes. It is is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric.These projections preserve area:Gall orthographic (also known as Gall-Peters, or Peters, projection)Albers conicLambert azimuthal equal-areaLambert cylindrical equal-areaMollweideHammerBriesemeisterSinusoidalWernerBonneBottomleyGoode's homolosineHobo-DyerCollignonTobler hyperelliptical
What are the disadvantages of a peters map?
The continents, countries, and bodies of water are distorted in their shape and size. They seem stretched between the North and South pole.
What are different types of map projections?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
What are the positives and negatives of a polar projection map and the Peters projection Map?
in a polar projection you can the northern hemisphere, a mercador projection where you can see stretched out land.
What is offered by Peters Projection?
Gall-Peters Projection is an item. This item is a table top map projector. Several schools have begun incorporating Gall-Peters Projection into their classrooms.The projector is named after James Gall and Arno Peters.
Does the gall peters projection have excellent location?
this map does not have excellent location. please correct me if i am wrong.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Gnomonic Projection map?
Advantages: pinpoint accuracy, air traffic, and the only way to get the north and south pole. Disadvantages: Makes countries look longer, distorted, and hard to understand.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of maps and globes?
An advantage of a map is that a map is easy to carry. An advantage of a globe is that a globe is a 3D version of the world. A disadvantage of a map is that on a map the continents are stretched. A disadvantage of a globe is that a globe is hard to carry around.
