Increases and decreases in populations can make maps obsolete.
D
The map projections are displayed in a 2-D format.

Thematic maps show a particular subject, such as population, across places. If population increases or decreases after the map is made, the data may no longer be current, making the map obsolete. Therefore, the potential problem is that population changes can make maps obsolete.
