Best Answer

Broken projection is a term used in cartography to describe distortions or errors in a map projection, which can result in inaccuracies when representing a three-dimensional object, such as the Earth, on a two-dimensional surface. These distortions can affect the shape, area, distance, or direction of geographic features on the map. The term highlights the inherent limitations of trying to represent a spherical object on a flat surface.
