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

Why the Philippines Looks Tiny on Maps? The Mercator projection map makes the Philippines look tiny, stretching countries near the poles like Europe, Russia, and the USA while shrinking equatorial nations. In reality, the Philippines map size is comparable to Spain or California and larger than Portugal or South Korea, showing how map distortion can mislead perceptions and influence cultural identity. #Philippines #filipino #history #geography #map | Jonas Tayaban
