How Map Projections Distort Reality The Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses, making Greenland appear much larger than it actually is compared to Africa. This distortion happens because Earth is a sphere, and flattening it stretches areas farther from the equator. #MapDistortions #MercatorProjection #WorldMap #Greenland #Africa #GeographyFacts #MapIllusions #EarthScience #MapProjection #GeographyExplained | Esploure Geo
