Answer:

The number of a state's electoral votes could change if the state population has a major change compared to other states.

Explanation:

The United States Electoral College is the electoral body that chooses the President of the United States at the end of each US presidential election.  

The American Electoral College was established by Article 2, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. The college meets every four years with "large voters" (delegates who are elected by the "small voters" who are ordinary citizens) from each state.

Each state has the right to a certain number of delegates in the electoral college, a number that varies according to their representatives and senators in Congress. Therefore, if in the House of Representatives a State loses members due to a percentage decrease in its population, it will also lose voters in the Electoral College.

The delegates of this college elect the president of the country. There are a total of 538 votes in the electoral college. A candidate wins the presidential election if he has at least 270 collegiate votes - even if he has a lower total popular vote than another competing candidate (as happened on five occasions: John Quincy Adams in 1824, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016).

Answer:

1 is this: The four middle lines of latitude are the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, the International Date Line and the Prime Meridian.

2 is: Climate models project robust differences in regional climate between present-day and global warming up to 1.5°C, and between 1.5°C and 2°C (high confidence), depending on the variable and region in question (high confidence).

3 is: The term civilization refers to complex societies, but the specific definition is contested.

The advent of civilization depended on the ability of some agricultural settlements to consistently produce surplus food, which allowed some people to specialize in non-agricultural work, which in turn allowed for increased production, trade, population, and social stratification.

The first civilizations appeared in locations where the geography was favorable to intensive agriculture.

Governments and states emerged as rulers gained control over larger areas and more resources, often using writing and religion to maintain social hierarchies and consolidate power over larger areas and populations.

Writing allowed for the codification of laws, better methods of record-keeping, and the birth of literature, which fostered the spread of shared cultural practices among larger populations.

Maksim231197 [3]
Please give me a thanks! The two types of changes that national boundaries experience on a regular basis include small changes and drastic changes. A small change may be something as simple as a river shifting direction and moving over 50 feet. This would be a small change in a nation-state's boundary
