The idea of time zones is to have a particular time of day have the same meaning worldwide. For example, noon will be the point in time when the sun is the highest, if you compare from exactly on one line of a longitude line that is used to determine the time zone (actual time zone lines change based on settlements and politics, so use the longitude line it is based on).
<span>The sun rises and sets based on the earth's rotation on its axis. Time zones divide the earth into 24 areas that will be rotated into. Latitude lines have nothing to do with the time of day or the earth's rotation--they tell you where something is north and south rather than east and west.</span>
Answer:
The cities have a much larger populations in smaller areas, which can cause more crime and overcrowding, along with pollution.
Answer:
Africa appears much bigger than the other landmasses on the Peters map projection.
Explanation:
There are numerous projection maps. All of them have some advantages and some disadvantages. One of those map projections in the Peters map projection or Gal-Peters map projection. This map projection's biggest problem is that it stretches certain parts of the world, some horizontally, some vertically.
On this map projection, Africa looks much bigger than it is, and it is comparable with the size of Asia even though Asia is much bigger in reality. The reason for this is that on the Peters map projection a vertical stretching occurrs around the Equator, and since the Equator passes around the middle of Africa the effect is the biggest at this landmass.
False, the slope of the land has great influence on water's ability to enter the ground.
Doldrum is the region of very calm and little or no wind on either side of the equator. Doldrums which is also called convergence zone is an equatorial region of the Atlantic ocean which has sudden storms and light unppredictable winds. In addition doldrum is abelt around the earth near the equator where the sailing ships sometimes get stuck on windless water.
