According to the article, the pancake map is better than 2D maps made in the past. Which paragraph BEST supports this idea?
Group of answer choices
) Creating accurate 2D maps has troubled map makers for centuries. To help determine the various problems flat maps face, Gott worked with David Goldberg, a professor of physics at Drexel University in Philadelphia. In 2007, they published a system that rates existing flat maps.
Their system scored 2D maps on their deformations, or distortions. It scored six types of distortions: local shapes, areas, distances, flexion (bending, or distortions of curves), skewness (lopsidedness), and boundary cuts (gaps in landmasses or water, like splitting the Pacific Ocean). Maps that received lower scores were more accurate. A globe, which is spherical like the Earth, would earn perfect scores of zero.
Flat maps are good at representing one thing but not others. Take the world map most people are familiar with — the Mercator projection. This map is good at representing local shapes, it distorts surface areas near the North and South Poles, so these regions are often chopped off.
) The pancake map also has smaller distance errors than any other 2D flat map. For instance, its layout means distances cannot be more or less than 22.2 percent of what they are in reality, Gott said. In comparison, the Mercator and Winkel Tripel projections have remarkably high distance errors near the poles and at the left and right edges of the map.
