Answer 1

A map is 2D. That means it can not shows us the mountains jutting out because a map will only show us a flat paper.

Hope that helped :)

Answer 2

The answer is B. There is always some distortion.
We know that a map is only a drawing. That means a map cannot create a 3D images of mountains and other landscape. That’s the reason why map is never perfect. A map can only show or represent an image of the globe but not the exact physical appearance of each landscape that can be found in earth. Distortion means there’s a change or a twist in a certain thing. May it be small or big, it doesn’t matter. It is still considered as distortion.
