Answer 1

The best comparison between maps and globes is:

Globes re-create the spherical shape of Earth, while maps distort some aspects of it to present it on a flat surface.

This response accurately highlights the primary difference in how globes and maps represent the Earth's shape, with globes maintaining the spherical representation and maps introducing distortions due to the challenges of depicting a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface.
