Globes and Earth Projections

Match the following words with their definition

GLOBES		Accurate representation of the Earth because they have a similar shape to our planet.
MAPS		Provide information about a small area, a country, a region or the whole world. However, they have a flat surface but our planet is three-dimensional. Consequently, they distort shapes and distances.
EARTH PROJECTIONS		A hypothetical map faithfully reproducing all features of the Earth, distances between every two points would keep the same ratio on both map and Earth. Nevertheless this type of maps can´t keep the correct  continents' shapes.

Match the following images with their correct definitions

Results in a map that is not continuous but cut off, the divisions often placed in the middle of the oceans; it is used to represent the continents.

Obtained by projecting the Earth’s surface onto a cylinder; the meridians and parallels are thus straight lines intersecting at right angles. These types of projections can’t represent the correct form of the continents.

Produced on a plane placed in such a way that it is tangent to a point on the Earth’s surface; it can represent only one hemisphere.

Obtained by projecting the Earth’s surface onto a cone whose base is a parallel; it can represent only a part of the globe.
