Answer:

A globe model of earth does not distort surface features.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A conical projection involves projection of maps of Earth's surface on a surrounding cone and then flattened into a plane surface having concentric circles with latitudes and longitudes.
  • Here distortion happens at poles where the conic projections leave the polar regions.
  • Cylindrical projection involves projections of Earth's surface onto a cylinder with globe centered horizontally.
  • Distortion occurs maximum at poles and minimum at the equator. A globe is a presentation of a celestial body Earth.
  • It does not distort the surface but just scales. A map is the systematic projection of latitudes and longitudes onto a plane.
  • Depending upon the projection used, a map is distorted to some angle.
