Answer:
The Spratly Islands are geopolitically significant because of the oil and natural gas deposits found in the bed of its territorial waters.
Explanation:
The Spratly Islands are an archipelago in the southwestern part of the South China Sea. The islands do not have a resident population, ports or harbors, but there are four airports. Currently, the archipelago is used as a fishing area.
The territory of the islands is disputed by six states: Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei. Despite their tiny size, the islands of the archipelago are important in terms of presence in the region. In addition, studies indicate the presence of a significant amount of oil and gas. According to the US Department of Energy, up to 5.4 billion barrels of oil and up to 55.1 trillion cubic meters of natural gas are concentrated in the Reed Bank area of the archipelago.
About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small military contingents from Vietnam, China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan. The Brunei fishery area includes the southern reef, but Brunei has not made any official territorial claims.

The type of map represented in the picture is a geological map. Geological maps show features such as soil and rock type and structural features such as faults. There are numerous faults represented on the map The main type observed are thrust faults. The area around Salt Lake is approximately between Quaternary to late Tertiary based on the map. The main geologic unit in this area is composed of alluvial, glacial and lake sediments. Middle Tertiary volcanic rocks can be found south of Richfield. Pre-Cambrian metamorphic (narrow outcrop east of the Great Salt Lake) and igneous rocks are the oldest represented on the map. The youngest rocks are Quaternary salt flats found mainly south-west of the Salt Lake. Intrusive rock outcrops can be found in different areas on the map. Outcrops can be observed southeast of Richfield, south-east of Ceder Clay and North of Lake Powell. Coal is the fossil fuel type present in the Green River and Price area.
Answer:
Places that have high latitude ( far from the equator) will receive less sunlight than those with lower latitude ( close to the equator). The climate change in the areas will affect the atmosphere, plants, and Animals. Latitude has to do with the distance and temperature from the equator due to the curvature of the earth.
