Did Jacques Cartier invented the flat map?
No, Jacques Cartier did not invent the flat map. The concept of representing the Earth's surface on a flat piece of paper has been around for centuries and evolved over time with contributions from various cartographers and explorers. Cartier was a French explorer who is known for exploring Canada in the 16th century, but he did not invent the flat map.
What happen to the continents on some map projections?
Four things can happen in any map projection, and one of them always occurs, due to the issue of putting a 3-dimensional plan on a flat surface. Size, shape, direction, and distance can be distorted on any map. Mercator is the most obvious of these, and several changes the size of Siberia, making it appear huge as compared to anywhere else. In fact, Siberia isn't THAT big, but the projection makes for great propoganda purposes...either making the U.S.S.R. in the old days look like an overpowering juggernaught, or by making the United States look puny in comparison. In all reality, the United States had more people, a stronger economy, and better technology, and the U.S.S.R.'s only advantage was in their nuclear stockpile. The Robinson projection screws up distance and direction on the outermost region, while preserving the center almost as it is on the globe. The basic idea of all of this is that if you take a piece of paper and try to conform it to a globe, shining a light in the center of the globe to imprint the picture onto the paper, the image that results will always be distorted in one way or another. If you're studying geography, maps are nice, but nothing beats a globe (except, of course, in compactness and transportability).

Which continent appears much wider than it really is compared to the other continents on a mercator projection map?
Antarctica appears much wider than it truly is. It seems to take up the whole bottom of the planet, but in reality, it is the third smallest continent. This distortion takes place because the projection of the Earth is stretched. All maps are distorted because of the sheer difficulty of projecting a 3D, globe-structed Earth onto a flat, 2D piece of paper.

Why china plates are wrapped in paper or straw pieces while packing?
