Let’s Practice: Matching Distortions

What have you learned?

You know that maps can be distorted by distance, direction, area, and shape! You also learned that there are many types of maps. Now, it’s time to put what you’ve learned into practice!

Do you remember what each map distortion is? Match the distortion on the left to the explanation on the right.

To match items, click or tap an item in the left column and then click or tap its match in the right column. If you change your mind, make a different choice. Once you have matched all items, click "Check Answers" to see how you did. Click "Reset" to try again.

Great job!

How did you do? Did you remember what all the distortions were? Learning about maps is fun!
