Answer:

Map projections

Explanation:

Its a systematic transformation of the latitude and longitudes from the surface of a sphere to the locations on plain. Map is created from drawing the projections. Depending upon the projections and the area to be shown some distortions may be allowed keeping the idea of Shape, direction, bearing , distance , scale and area.

Various classification have been emerged like :

Preserving direction (azimuthal or <u>zenithal</u>),

Preserving shape locally (conformal or <u>orthomorphic</u>).

Preserving area (equal-area or <u>equiareal </u>or equivalent or authalic).

Preserving distance (equidistant).

Preserving shortest route, a trait preserved only by the <u>gnomonic projection</u>

Using the Cardenas layer as an example, explain how unconformities may occur.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Due to erosion.

Explanation:

An unconformity refers to a type of geologic contact that occurs boundary between rocks. The main causes of Unconformities is erosion, wears away rocks and rock deposits never form. The most common cause of unconformity is erosion in which the younger rocks spread on older rocks with the passage of time. In Cardenas layer, erosion is also occurs that leads to unconformity in that region which leads to the formation of boundaries in the rocks.

What type of map is best suited for maritime navigation? A. Topographic B. Geologic C. Mercator projection D. Conic projection
DerKrebs [107]


The best answer is C.

Mercator projection is a type of map projection invented and introduced by Gerardus Mercator in the year 1569. The meridians are equally spaced, parallel vertical lines and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal lines spaced farther apart as their distance from the equator increases.

This projection is widely used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator- projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course.

It is often described as a cylindrical projection  but it must be derived mathematically.
