Answer:
Even though globes are showing Earth more accurately, the maps are still used because they are more practical.
Explanation:
Earth is generally shown with two methods, one being the maps (map projections) and the other being globes. Both are used and will be used, as both have several advantages, but also several disadvantages. Despite globes being closer and more accurate in their representation of Earth, the maps are still used because they are much more practical.
The globes show Earth very close to its true form, though they are made as a ball, not as an ellipsoid. Anyhow, the globes don't have distortions of areas, so the sizes and locations are accurate on them. On the other hand, globes are highly impractical because of their shape, as they are don't often fit in standard backpacks or bags, and can easily be broken or damaged. Also, we can not see the entire Earth at any moment, so it is hard to make comparisons by using them.
The maps, on the other side, do have inaccuracies, mostly by having distortions, be it around the Equator or around the poles. Despite this, they have a relatively good accuracy that in most cases is enough for practical usage. Also, their form and weight make them easy to use, move from place to place, and the entire world can be seen at the same time, thus they are very practical when it comes to making comparisons.
Answer:
land features: fostered eastern valleys. western mountains and central plains.
water features: black-blue lakes, numerous rivers and swamps.
climate: very cold winters and short cool summers.
location: North America bordering the north Atlantic ocean to the east, North pacific ocean on the west and Artic ocean on the North.
natural recourses: energy, mineral and timber, natural gas and coal.
Explanation:
Animals ingest food containing carbon sources such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. (Which they get from plants that have absorbed and converted the carbon dioxide into other energies). They then metabolise these substances to produce waste products. One of these waste products is carbon dioxide which they breathe into the atmosphere. Also animals faeces is broken down by bacteria which give off carbon dioxide as they do so.
Answer:
Cylindrical map projections
Explanation:
Cylindrical map projections are used for portraying the Earth. Cylindrical map projections are rectangles, but are called cylindrical because they can be rolled up and their edges mapped in a tube, or cylinder. They have straight coordinate lines with horizontal parallels crossing meridians at right angles. All meridians are equally spaced and the scale is consistent along each parallel. The only factor that distinguishes different cylindrical map projections from one another is the scale used when spacing the parallel lines on the map.
Cylindrical map projections are great for comparing latitudes to each other and are useful for teaching and visualizing the world as a whole, by determining continents, languages, etc but really aren’t the most accurate way of visualizing how the world really looks in its entirety.
