Answer:

The Mercator Projection

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the map most commonly used by global citizens. However, it shows areas like Greenland and Alaska to be way bigger than they actually are. This is because they are located near a pole, so since the Earth kind of curves right here it appears a lot bigger when you flatten it into a map.

Have a wonderful day! :D
