If two places on the ground that are 25° 35'N and 25° 30'N are shown 8 cm a part on a given map, what is the scale of the map?

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Explanation:Do you live in a city, or in a small town? Or do

you live on a farm or a ranch? Has your family

lived there a long time or a short time? How does

living where you do affect the way you live? For

example, do you need special clothes in the winter? Is your favorite food grown nearby, or is it

brought in from far away?

All these questions have to do with geography.

Geography is the study of our home—the earth—

and how our lives are affected by it. Almost every

detail of our lives is affected by geography. The

clothes we wear, the food we eat, the things we do

for fun, and the kinds of homes in which we live

are all connected to geography.

GPS are used to do all of the following except:A. track lost pets in real timeB. to help map the ocean floorC. track the pattern

sattari [20]

Answer: B - help map the ocean floor

Explanation: GPS which is an acronym for Global Positioning System is a global satellite based location and navigation system owned by the US Government. It was first used by the US Air Force in 1978. It's main purpose is to show a GPS user location and time information from anywhere on earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight from the precise location to 4 or more GPS satellites. GPS is commonly used on land (obviously through every day use like when you use an uber) and in the air (pilots use GPS signals when they fly).

GPS can be used to track pets if there's a tracking device on their collars.

GPS is also used in taxis and can be used to track a cab after a hurricane.

Ordinary people can use GPS to collect information for scientists - an example of this would be taking a new undefined route on Google maps therefore adding to their archive of known routes/areas.

However GPS signals cannot penetrate water - sea water especially. Hence the answer is B
