Question 3

Write two points to support that maps are better than globes.

Answer

Maps are better than globes in the following ways:

  1. A map is easy to handle as it can be folded or rolled. Hence, it can be carried everywhere, which is not the case when we talk about a globe.
  2. Maps are very informative as they show more details of small areas. However, globes cannot show such small details like details of a city or a state or distribution of various resources.
