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).

A 163 square-kilometer (km2) small island is found 2,000km from the mainland. A second, larger, 230,000km2 island is found 1,000
Maru [420]

Answer:

4) The rate of species extinction is lower on the small island than on the large island.

Explanation:

The theory of island biogeography suggested that because of the size and links to the mainland. Fewer species that are not from the island will invade because the distance from the mainland is greater. The threat of extinction due to this is low. The small island also has a lower capacity for different species due to limited resources. This would mean that there are simply fewer species to go extinct.
