Answer:

It depends on the methods they measure it.

Longitudes and latitudes.

Explanation:

Topography concerns the shape and character of the Earth's surface and maps were among the first artifacts to record these observations .They are also known as topographical maps.

Orthographic projection  is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It is a form of parallel projection, in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface. The obverse of an orthographic projection is an oblique projection, which is a parallel projection in which the projection lines are not orthogonal to the projection plane.  

The term orthographic is sometimes reserved specifically for depictions of objects where the principal axes or planes of the object are also parallel with the projection plane ,but these are better known as multi-view projections. Furthermore, when the principal planes or axes of an object in an orthographic projection are not parallel with the projection plane, but are rather tilted to reveal multiple sides of the object, the projection is called an axonometric projection.
