Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: A small man-made model of the Earth is called a globe. It is spherical in shape and is the most accurate depiction of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -A map is a two-dimensional figure made on paper whereas a globe is a three-dimensional structure, this makes it easier to draw a map and the features which need to be studied, it gives a more precise representation of the Earth and is also cheaper and easier to create.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because it is spherical, or ball-shaped, it can represent surface features, directions, and distances more accurately than a flat map.
Detailed explanation-4: -A map is a graphical representation of the Earth on a flat surface like paper, whereas the globe is a spherical structure shaped like the Earth. This makes a map more useful as the researchers can study the minutest details of the geographical features. Q.
