The changes in shape, size, and position of features that occur when representing the Earth on a flat map take place because of Distortion

For better understanding, lets explain what the term means

Distortion is simply known as the misrepresentation of the size and shape of the structure being examined. Distortion exists even when it cannot be seen due to poor visibility when density and contrast are poorStudies has shown that when the earth is projected onto a flat surface, four different types of distortion exist. they are: distance, direction, angle, and area and one cannot be able to keep or preserve all four means of distortion on one flat projection. When compared, the earth, like a lemon fruit will not be flattened without the help of  distortion.

from the above, we can therefore say that the answer The changes in shape, size, and position of features that occur when representing the Earth on a flat map take place because of Distortion, is correct
