The image displays two world maps side-by-side, highlighting Africa in orange. The left map is labeled "Mercator projection" and the right is labeled "Equal Earth projection." The Mercator projection appears to distort the size of Africa, making it seem smaller relative to other continents, while the Equal Earth projection shows Africa as much larger. The style is educational and informative.
