The Earth's true shape is called: A Oblate Spheroid. It might just look like a regular circle, but it's not. It's actually a Oblate Spheroid.

I know this because I did some research online.

Hope I helped!

Decide whether each statement is true or false or choose the best answer to make each statement true.

erastova [34]

Answer:

As given below.

Explanation:

1. False, as the number of daylight hours on the globe are mapped by the location f places over the various latitudes and altitudes. And the sun is not with the same both rise and set at both the hemispheres.

2. Yes, there exist changes of 12 hours in sunlight and darkness on earth due to the rotational speed of the earth on its axis as the earth is tilted 23.5 degrees so in both the hemisphere there exists equinoxes and solstices.

3. True, as the known fact the earth rotates in anticlockwise direction hence the eastern side gets to see the sun first and western side later this rule applies everywhere in the earth on both the equinoxes.

4. True, The celestial poles and equator are two points on earth that represent the equinoxes and the point that falls directly over the poles is called the zenith and the plane that touches is called the galactic plane.

Thousands of years from now, a continental plate begins to collide with an oceanic plate. which of the following landforms would

gregori [183]

As the two plates collide,the denserr oceanic plate will subduct under the less dense continential plate, causing the continential plate to arch up and form a mountain range.

Let's look into it one by one:

A. An underwater mountain range will will run along the boundary on the oceanic plate. - This is false.

As the oceanic plate subducts under the continential plate, there is no chance for the denser material to accumulate while subducting. What would be find instead is ocean trench.

B. A mountain range will form in the middle of the continental plate. - This is false.

Although pressure will be applied and there would be stress accumulating on the continential plate, the middle is very unlikely to be affected.

C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate. - This is true.

As the subduction happens, the continential plate will accumulate as it is less dense. The rock would fold up to form mountain ranges. For example, Rockies is one off the mountain range along the plate.

D. A chain of islands will form along the boundary of the oceanic plate. - This is false.

Similarly to A. it is not possible for the plate to accumulate when it slides under the other plate.

Therefore the answer is C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate.

A series of maps, spanning a long period of time for a region, could be best used to show... a b how beliefs and practices withi

jeyben [28]

The correct answer is D. How national borders in a region change over time.

Explanation:

The main purpose of maps is to show geographical features including natural physical features such as mountains or rivers, and political features that refer to the use of land by humans and the divisions created by them. Due to this, through maps, it is possible to visually show cities, states, regions countries, etc. In this context, a series of maps can be used to show the evolution or change of national borders because this is part of political features. Also, other aspects such as policies, beliefs, or economic events are not geographical and due to this cannot be depicted through maps.

Considerando que a distância real entre Y a e F, duas importantes localidades, onde serão realizadas competições dos Jogos Olímp

gladu [14]

Answer:

A distância entre os dois locais importantes no mapa = 23,48 cm

The distance between the two important locations on the map = 23.48 cm

Explanation:

A proporção de escala da distância do mapa para a distância da vida real é dada como

1 : 1.500.000

Significa que

1 cm = 1.500.000 cm

Mas

1 km = 1.000 m = 100.000 cm

100.000 cm = 1 km

1.500.000 cm = 11,5 km

Portanto, a proporção da escala é corretamente

1 cm = 11,5 km

11,5 km na vida real = 1 cm no mapa

270 km na vida real = (270 × 1 / 11.5) = 23.4782608696 = 23.48 cm no mapa

Espero que isto ajude!!!

English Translation

Considering that the real distance between Y a and F, two important locations, where competitions will be held at the 2020 Summer Olympics is 270 kilometers, on a map, on a scale of 1 : 1,500,000, would that be?

Solution

The scale ratio for map distance to real life distance is given as 1 : 1,500,000

Meaning that

1 cm = 1,500,000 cm

But

1 km = 1,000 m = 100,000 cm

100,000 cm = 1 km

1,500,000 cm = 11.5 km

So, the scale ratio is properly

1 cm = 11.5 km

11.5 km in real life = 1 cm on the map

270 km in real life = (270×1/11.5) = 23.4782608696 = 23.48 cm on the map

Hope this Helps!!!
