osystein:How won't you people be able to make a round object flat (appear to be). Then you cut out the diameter. Then you open it up then you make it flat usn a computer software. Or you calculate the spherical budge then convert it to land mass |

the map isnt wrong though, maybe the size... well i dont about that. North American is supposed to be smallar than Africa shall because its just a small fragment that actually pulled out of Africa due to plate movement (plate tectonics). dont just conclude d map is wrong because of d size, there are others factors that has proven the map is correct. works has been done especially btw Africa and North America which has proven right. they ve d same Formation. if you read about the geological history of the universe, u will get to know better that the map is correct and not wrong. give the cartographers some credits because recent geologist has also worked on it and there are evidence to prove its right. |
