What Map Projection Distortions Should You Know For Landforms? Have you ever wondered how maps can sometimes distort the landforms they show? In this engaging video, we’ll explore the different ways map projections can change the appearance of Earth's features. We’ll start by explaining what map projections are and why they are necessary for representing our planet on flat surfaces. You’ll learn about the main types of distortions—shape, area, distance, and direction—and how they affect the way we see mountains, valleys, and other landforms. We’ll discuss specific map types like conformal, equal-area, and azimuthal projections, highlighting when and why you might use each one. Additionally, we’ll introduce a helpful tool called Tissot’s indicatrix, which visually demonstrates where and how much distortion occurs on different maps. Whether you’re studying geography, planning an outdoor adventure, or simply curious about how maps work, understanding these concepts will improve your map-reading skills and help you interpret landforms more accurately. By exploring different map projections interactively, you’ll see firsthand how landform appearances can change depending on the map used. Join us to become a more confident map reader and learn how to choose the right map for your needs. Don’t forget to subscribe for more educational content!
