Answer:

8 km

Explanation:

Scale is defined as the ratio between the distance on a 2D map and the distance on the actual ground surface. It is very widely used in the maps in order to identify the size of the area, as well as the distance between any two places.

In the given question, it says that 3 centimeters in the map represents 4 kilometers in the actual ground.

So, it can be concluded that 6 centimeters in the map corresponds to 8 kilometers in the actual ground.

The towns are 8 kilometers apart because as you see 6 centimeters equal 2 of the 3 centimeters which means that you add four twice or times it by 2 to get 8

why coastal regions, near large bodies of water like the ocean, have much milder annual temperatures than inland regions.

Which definition describes the geography term ''scale''?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Good afternoon!

Answer-

The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. This simple concept is complicated by the curvature of the Earth's surface, which forces scale to vary across a map.

Have a nice day!

an asteroid gets bumped from its spot on jupiter and begins traveling around the sun in a long oval shape every 15 years what wo
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's path is a trajectory path which could be called an orbit.

Explanation:

When an object moves along a curved path or circular path, a centripetal force is required to sustain it in the path. The forms atrajectory path in which the object continues to move when no external forces are applied.

The Sun applies a gravitational force (centripetal force) on the asteroid after it got bumped from the spot on Jupiter. This force applied constrained it to move in the long oval shape every 15 years continuously. The long oval shape is in a form of trajectory path which could be called an orbit. Therefore, we can say that the asteroid orbits around the Sun and completes the path every 15 years.
