A conic map is the best bc it has very little distortion and straight latitude and longitude lines
Initially, people's believe about the ocean floor was that it is mostly flat, and that it has little to no distinguishing features. This was proven wrong when sonar was used to map the ocean floor by <span>German scientists in the early </span>20th century, and they observed that the ocean floor is varied and it showcases such distinguishing features as atolls, submarine canyons, and mid-ocean ridges.
It is clear that from 2006 to 2012, the average insolation reflected by the Greenland ice sheets is decreasing. This indicates that each year, the amount of solar radiation that the ice sheets are able to reflect is decreasing. The level of insolation reflected is dependent on the area of ice sheets capable of reflecting the solar energy. Since the insolation reflected has decreased, this may mean that the area of the ice sheets has decreased as well.
