Why are the sizes and shapes of the land and bodies of Water different on the two maps provided for this activity?
The sizes and shapes of the land and bodies of water are different on the two maps because the two maps are both different shapes and sizes, while Earth is still the same size. The bodies of water seem much bigger on Map B than Map A because Map B is bigger and is rectangular so there is more space to be filled in. The land area seems larger on Map A than Map B because Map A is curved and gives the land area an enlargening effect.
