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.
Finding new routes to places would allow for faster trading. This had a few advantages. The less time voyage took, the less expensive it was. It also meant a quicker turn around, and less spoilage of certain goods
The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.

Density, Temperature, and Pressure all increase. The pressure at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core of Earth is inferred to be approximately... 1.4 million atmospheres. What is the inferred temperature at the boundary between Earth's stiffer mantle and outer core?
Mogadishu Somalia and Manila Philippines have a 5 hour-difference. Somalia is 5 hours behind the Philippines. So, if it is 10pm in Somalia, I have to advance 5 hours. 10pm + 5 hours would be 3am in the next day(Friday).
