Determined by tectonic plate locations and types of plates - they occur on divergent, transform and convergent plate boundaries. Great example is Japan and the San Andreas fault; abundant in plate activity and historically notable for frequent earthquakes. Hope this helps you get started a bit! :)

the characteristic of projections which portray accurate sizes but distort shapes of land masses is called ____
denis23 [38]

Answer:

equivalence

Explanation:

Recall that this principle is the basis of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the German researcher, gravity is not a force that acts independently on each object, but rather a deformation of the same temporal space tissue.

According to the test carried out now by the team of astronomers, these three dead stars in two of their forms, a pulsar or a white dwarf, are perfect candidates to confirm the theory.

The equivalence was already understood centuries ago by Galileo Galilei. In his famous test of the spheres in the Tower of Pisa he demonstrated the existence on Earth. Subsequently, astronaut David Scott did the same on the lunar surface in 1971.

Now, this team has demonstrated it by studying two of the densest objects in the universe. Until today, many believed that the high density of the pulsar made him exempt from complying with the equivalence principle. However, being subjected to the gravitational field of one of the white dwarfs, the closest and least massive, after six years of observations, they have been able to demonstrate that both bodies have the same acceleration. And, if there is a difference, it is less than three parts between one million. That is the conclusion reached by a new test that tested Einstein and corroborated his theories once again.

A planar projection map is most useful for sea navigation. True or False
svp [43]

True, A 'planar projection map' is helpful for sea navigation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A 'planar projection map' that shows the particulars of the globe in a flat surface projection. The pictures projected by the map are shown in rectangular-shaped. If any other map such as Cylindrical map is used then, the edges are not so perfect, they show distortion. With the help of all three coordinates, it shows a 3-D picture of the globe and its objects which can be considered almost as real as the actual object. They are also known as azimuthal projections and are mostly used in projecting polar regions.

Plz help<br> How does subduction change the ocean floor
r-ruslan [8.4K]
In geology subduction is the process whereby one tectonic plate is forced underneath another tectonic plate along a convergent boundary. Places where this type of plate interaction occurs are called subduction zones. Subduction zones have a high rate of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building.
