Which statements describe how maps represent Earth’s surface? Select three options.

1. They show all or part of Earth.
2. They have a three-dimensional surface.
3. They use symbols to represent land features.
4. They correspond to distances on Earth using a scale.
5. They represent the relative shape of Earth accurately.

Not option 2 because maps are 2 dimensional

Not option 4 because the shape of Earth will be still round on any map.

Answer 2

A compilation of many maps is called an atlas. A globe is a three-dimensional sphere while a map is two-dimensional. The globe represents the whole earth, whereas a map may represent the whole earth or just a part of it.
