Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The Mercator projection is usually defined as the cylindrical map projection that is mainly used for the purpose of navigation while traveling in the vast oceans. The main drawback of using this map projection is that the size of the objects gets distorted as the latitude increases from the equator to the polar regions.  

This map projection is very commonly used for navigation purposes as any straight line that is drawn on it remains a line of constant and true bearings. This means that the angles are perfect and it does not show any error, due to which this chart is suitable for navigation in the oceans.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

How earthquake occur or what happen when it came​
miss Akunina [59]

Hello, welcome to Brainly!

Earthquakes are typically prompted when rock underground suddenly breaks alongside a fault. This sudden launch of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing in opposition to each other, they stick a little. They don't simply slide smoothly; the rocks seize on each other. The rocks are nevertheless pushing towards each other, however now not moving. After a while, the rocks spoil because of all the stress that is built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs. During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they proceed to go till they get caught again. The spot underground the place the rock breaks is known as the focal point of the earthquake. The area proper above the center of attention (on pinnacle of the ground) is called the epicenter of the earthquake.
