How would you describe the lines of longitude on a map

1 answer:

3 0

Longitude on a map is like vertical<span> mapping lines on Earth which are well known as "meridians". One way to visualize this would be to think of splitting hula-hoops in half, then vertically, up and down, assembling them, with one positioned at the North Pole and one the South. Longitude lines show a numerical way to measure or show how far a location is east or west of the vertical line known as the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian runs vertically, north and south, over the British Royal Observatory, located in Greenwich England, from the North Pole to the South Pole.

It also helps with extensive commercial farming which means there are bigger farms and fewer farmers. The Green Revolution in the mid-1900s saw the development of high yield variety crops that were stronger and more reliable. While more fertilizer and water is needed, people are not.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

secondary succession

Explanation:

In the described scenario we have a destruction of an ecosystem because of natural causes, volcano in this case. All that has left after the volcanic eruption has been barren land. After this has happened life started colonizing the volcanic island again, in a process known as primary succession. In the primary succession it is the organisms that have the lowest of requirements for survival that will inhabit the island. Over time, as they die, they will provide biomass for the ground, thus soil will start to form. Once there's soil formed a process called secondary succession will start. In this process the island will start to be inhabited by some plants and smaller animals. These plants and animals will contribute to further enhancing the living conditions on the island, and the island will gradually be getting larger plants and larger animals, thus a new ecosystem will be formed on the place of the old one.
