A Correct answer
Explanation

Maps are flat, two-dimensional representations that can be easily folded, rolled up, and carried, making them highly portable compared to bulky three-dimensional globes. Globes are actually more accurate because they do not distort the Earth's spherical shape, but they are much harder to transport.
