The false statement is - B. This map projection does not distort shapes.
The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.
Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.

Answer:
Appalachian Plateau
Explanation:
The Appalachian Mountains are a mountain range that runs down the eastern United States.
The Appalachian Plateau is on their northwestern side and stretches from New York to Alabama.
Answer: two solar eclipses separated by one Saros cycle will have the same geometric characteristics (they will both be total, or partial or annular).
A Saros is a period of time of about 18 years 11 days and 8 hours and represents the time needed for the system composed by Moon, Earth, and Sun to return to its initial position.
Indeed, this is due to a natural harmony of the Moon’s motion: it takes 29.53 days to complete one orbit around Earth (Synodic Month), it takes 27.21 days to pass from the same node of its orbit (Draconic Month) and it takes 27.55 days to go from perigee to perigee (Anomalistic Month); the composition of these three motions gives one Saros of around 6585.3 days, composed by 223 Synodic Months, 239 Anomalistic Months and 242 Draconic Months (with a precision of few hours).
It has been observed that after one Saros cycle Moon, Earth and Sun are in the same initial position, therefore an eclipse occurring on day 1 of two consecutive Soros cycles would have the same geometric characteristics, which means that one Saros can be considered the periodicity of solar and lunar eclipses.
Due to the fact that a Saros is not composed by a whole number of days (we have a remainder of 8 hours), the two eclipses won’t be visible from the same location on Earth due to the rotation around its axis. It takes about 3 Soros for this to happen.
Answer:
the lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering the planet and the hydrosphere is composed of all the water on the planet
Explanation:
The lithosphere and the hydrosphere have numerous similarities, but also numerous differences. The biggest and most obvious difference between these two spheres of planet Earth is that the lithosphere is solid, rocky crust that covers the planet, while the hydrosphere is and is represented by all of the water on the planet. The crust is mostly made up by the volcanic activity, thus through the lava flows and crystallization of the magma, which have created the rocks, or with other words the crust, the land masses. The hydrosphere is represented by the waters, and it has been created by both water coming from the volcanoes, and from the space objects that have been falling on our planet. The waters are generally divided into two categories, saline and freshwater, with the saline being in much higher amount.
