The distribution of fold mountains, as seen in figure 1, are mostly located around areas of tectonic plates surrounding various continents. For example, the Pacific plate, which runs along North America contains a long region of folded mountains along the coast.
Answer:
Lunar eclipses
The only shape that casts a round shadow no matter which direction it is pointed is a sphere, and the ancient Greeks deduced that this must mean the Earth is spherical.
Explanation:
Answer:
A Mercator map projection greatly distorts the area of land masses near the poles.
Explanation:
Mercator projection is a projection method where the meridians are deposited vertically on the parallel circles, and where the distance along these circles is gradually stretched more in relation to the terrain it gets closer to the pole. The method is common, for example on world and sea maps. It maintains directions correctly.
The projection gets right at the equator but in theory never reaches the poles and it depends on the cylindrical projection. Gerhardus Mercator's projection became famous in the 16th century and has since been used on the seas.
Answer:
From first to last, step wise is given below-
Tropical disturbance < Topical depression < Tropical storm < Wind speed above 74 miles per hour
Explanation:
In order to form a hurricane, at first, the disturbances occur in the tropical region, which is characterized by the occurrence of heavy storm activity over a large area extending 100 miles, that exist for about 24 hours.
Then, with the more favorable conditions, the disturbances alter into stronger storms that spin forming a low-pressure center, and this condition refers to the tropical depression. The required amount of humidity is present in both the upper and lower portion of the atmosphere.
The pressure within the center of the tropical depression eventually gets down, and the air flows inward, thereby forming more stronger winds. With more decreasing pressure, the wind speed drastically increases. Thus, the storm becomes stronger.
When the speed of the wind becomes 74 mph or exceeds, then this type of storm is called a hurricane.
