The statements that describe how maps represent Earth's surface are:

They show all or part of Earth. They use symbols to represent land features. They correspond to distances on Earth using a scale. They represent the relative shape of Earth accurately.

Explanation:

The maps are usually a representation of a part of the Earth or the entire planet with a relative adjustment due to its curvature, they use symbols to identify types of terrain (forest, grassland, rugged, sand, among others) as well as locations important that allow to give a better guide of the place. Since the map is not the same size as the terrain, scales are usually used to represent in centimeters or inches what in real terrain can be kilometers or miles.
