Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.
The answer is <span>b. Swamps are deeper and have a larger proportion of surface water than marshes, and bogs have acidic groundwater.
Bogs, marshes, and swamps are types of wetlands. Swamps and marshes are mineral soil wetlands. Swamps are deeper and with a larger proportion of surface water than marshes. Usually, swamps develop from marshes that fill in. Bogs are organic soil wetlands. They are acid areas with acidic groundwater.</span>
Hello,
The answer is "natural selection is how animals, or plants survive or adapt to their environment".
Reason:
Natural selection is how animals, or<span> plants survive or adapt to their environment this idea came up by Charles Darwin and how he examined the birds beaks which means he came up with the theory of evolution which means that animals evolve to a different type of that species to adapt to there environment with is natural selection.

Cancer cells multiply rapidly and normal cells don't.
improved soil fertility
Explanation:
One direct benefit of biodiversity is improved soil fertility. Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals living in a particular ecosystem.
A soli is made up of organic matter. Organic matter is the remain of dead and decaying plant and animal materials in the soil.
Organic matter is a very important soil component.
Since plants and animals eat up plants which takes nutrients from the soil, there must be a way to replenish these vital soil materials.
The more biodiverse an ecosystem, the better its chance of adding more nutrients to the soil as they decay.
