Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Unfortunately, anytime that a round object is broken up and flattened, it creates many areas of distortion. Some areas stretch, while others are cut. When the earth is projected onto a flat surface there are at least four different types of distortion: distance, direction, angle, and area.
Detailed explanation-2: -Azimuthal Projections These types of projections plot the surface of Earth using a flat plane. Similar to light rays radiating from a source following straight lines, those light rays intercept the globe onto a plane at various angles.
