Question

demerits of globe and map?

Answer 1

A disadvantage of using a globe and map to find locations over a map is that a globe is too big or bulky to carry around. Similarly, a globe would need to be extremely large to show a small area in detail, such as a town or city, and only half of the globe is visible at any given time.

Answer 2

globes cannot give detailed information on a large scale; even very large globes. They also give a false impression of the relative curvature of the earth, because the radius of a globe is a lot less than the radius of the earth.

all maps distort the shape or size of landforms; particularly on a global scale. They either distort the shape of the land, or the relative size of the continents. Greenland may appear to be the same size as Africa on a global map, but it is in fact a lot smaller.
