The maps above show new zealand's place in the world from two different perspectives. which statement explains why people in new zealand might prefer map a over map b?

People prefer to observe their country from a central point of view.

Explanation:

All maps are designed to portray certain information and often have some kind of bias based on the creator of the map. In the case of many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, maps are often preferred to be oriented in a different way than in the Northern Hemisphere.

This difference is a result of the placement of these countries on the globe. Were the map to be centered on the Prime Meridian and the North Hemisphere countries, most of the states south of the Equator would barely be visible.
