The scale of a globe is the same along lines connecting any two points on its surface. The scale of a flat map varies from place to place, however, depending on how it was flattened. The distortion ellipses on the map shown above illustrate map scale variations along lines of longitude and latitude. Which of the following statements about the map above is false?
Map scale is the same along each parallel.
Map scale is the same along the equator and along with the prime meridian.
Map scale is the same along the prime meridian and 90 degrees East longitude
Map scale is the same along 90 degrees West and 90 degrees East longitude
