c. They distort lines of latitude and longitude, while accurately showing landmass and oceans.
d. They cannot include enough detail to be useful.
Answer:
b. They distort scale and landmass shape.
Explanation:
Maps are an attempt to represent regions as faithfully as possible. But there is an obvious difficulty in representing curved or three-dimensional objects, such as the earth, on a flat, two-dimensional surface.
So distortions always occur, that is, some parts of the map will not correspond exactly to what is being represented. It's like opening a ball and trying to stretch it to make it flat like a sheet of paper. You will not be able to make it flat unless you tear the edges, deforming it.

Digitizing is the process of converting features on a paper map into digital format.
When computer mapmakers digitize map data, they convert the data into computer language . Correct answer: B In order to do this digitizing tablet (also known as a digitizer) connected to your computer is needed. This digitzier will trace over the features. The x,y coordinates of the features are automatically recorded and stored as spatial data.
