Have you ever wondered why every map seems to get something wrong, whether it's the size of Greenland or the shape of Africa? This video delves into the fascinating and frustrating truth behind cartographic projections and why distortion is an inescapable part of mapping our spherical world onto a flat surface. Get ready to understand the fundamental challenges cartographers face in representing Earth's true dimensions.
In this explanation, you'll discover:
► Why it's geometrically impossible to flatten a sphere without stretching or compressing its features.
► The different types of distortion (area, shape, distance, direction) and how various projections prioritize some over others.
► How common map projections like Mercator or Gall-Peters make their compromises.
► The trade-offs cartographers must consider when choosing a projection for specific purposes.
