World map

The map shows a representation of the world, the land and the seas of Earth. And no, the map is not proof that the world is a disc. The map below is a two-dimensional (flat) projection of the global landmass and oceans that covers the surface of our spherical planet. The map shows the continents, oceans, major countries, and a network of lines (graticules) representing meridians and parallels, the geographic coordinate system. It is also a political map because it shows the borders between sovereign states. A sovereign state is, in international law, a legal entity represented by a government that has sovereignty (self-determination) over a geographic area. Map of the World Political Map of the World The map shows the world with countries, sovereign states, and dependencies or areas of special sovereignty with international borders, the surrounding oceans, seas, large islands and archipelagos.

Political Map of the World Shown above The map above is a political map of the world centered on Europe and Africa. It shows the location of most of the world's countries and includes their names where space allows. Representing a round earth on a flat map requires some distortion of the geographic features no matter how the map is done. We have used a Mercator projection for this map because it is the projection most commonly used in schools. On this map, geographic boundaries that trend north-south appear as vertical lines, geographic boundaries that trend east-west appear as horizontal lines. This type of projection causes a minimum of country-shape distortion near the equator, a small amount of distortion at mid-latitudes, but extreme distortion near the poles. For that reason, the map does not extend to the north and south poles. Physical Map of the World Shown above The map shown here is a terrain relief image of the world with the boundaries of major countries shown as white lines. It includes the names of the world's oceans and the names of major bays, gulfs, and seas. Lowest elevations are shown as a dark green color with a gradient from green to dark brown to gray as elevation increases. This allows the major mountain ranges and lowlands to be clearly visible. This map is also a Mercator projection centered on Europe and Africa. A scale of miles is not shown on these maps because the scale changes with distance north and south of the equator. Scale is highly exag...
