Which term denotes a lune-shaped map to fit a globe?

• A. Analemma
• B. Isometric Diagram
• C. Globe gore
• D. Vinylite

Answer: (C)

The term refers to the curved map pieces used to wrap a sphere. Globe gores are the long, curved wedge-shaped sections printed so they can be assembled around a globe; their shape is lune-like because each piece is bounded by arcs that bend toward the poles, producing a crescent-ish form when laid flat. When multiple gores are joined, they cover the spherical surface with minimal distortion along the longitudes. The other options don’t describe map segments for a globe: an analemma is a Sun position curve, an isometric diagram is a type of 3D drawing, and Vinylite is just a material.
