Social Studies

Rom4ik [11]3 years ago

The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection which is widely used in cartography today. It was developed by Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It is not a physical projection, and cannot be constructed using geometric tools. On a small scale, geometric shapes can be moved around the map, without distorting them (this property is known as conformity). As a downside, the scale of the shape and the direction of lines may change when shapes are moved. For example, Africa is actually 15 times larger than Greenland, but on this map projection they look the same size.

Today, Mercator projections are mainly used for maps.

A modifier is considered dangling when the word that its will modifier is not contained in the sentence. For example, the nice ........; the nice in this example is dangling because it does not have a word to modify.

Preparing for the​ experiment, several slides were fixed with dye  contains a dangling modifier. "Preparing for experiment" is  expressing an action, but the person experimenting is not known.  Since the person performing the experiment is not known the phrase "<em>preparing for the experiment</em>" is considered a dangling modifier because it is not modifying any word in the sentence.

UCR/NIBRS terminology may differ from ________ definitions of crime.
aniked [119]

Answer:

Statutory

Explanation:

Uniform Crime Reporting/National Incident-Based Reporting System terminology may differ from statutory definitions of crime.

UCR helps to keep record of all crimes reported to the law enforcement agencies while the NIBRS focuses more on crimes which are known as Group A crimes which are more serious such as aggravated assault, murder etc.

This makes the UCR/NIBRS terminology differ from statutory definitions of crime as a result of the disparity between the two.
