Lines on a Map
Basically, a map is a graphic representation of the real world on a flat surface. The infinite nature of our universe makes it nearly impossible to capture all of the complexities found in the real world. The study of construction of a map is called cartography.
EFFECT OF ALBEDO ON GLOBAL WARMING
The environment has already been adversely affected by the global climate change. Plants and animal ranges are shifted, glaciers have shrunk and early flowering of trees, all are the impacts of global climate change on the environment. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases along with other air pollutants collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that were reflected back from the earth’s surface. Whereas Albedo is the amount of solar radiation that is reflected by some surface, and is often expressed as a percentage or a decimal value.

There are various forces which change or alter the surface of the Earth. These forces create, destruct, recreate landforms on the Earth and maintain the geo-materials on the earth’s crust.
Movements of Continents and Plate Tectonics
The large landmasses on the surface of the earth are defined as the Continent. The earth is divided into seven continents- Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, North America, South America, and Antarctica
