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>

Explain the process of precipitation,evaporation, and condensation within the water cycle
andre [41]

evaporation is when a mass of water is hit by sunlight and some of it turns to a vapor. In the atmosphere, that vapor cools and the water molecules fuse with other water molecules, forming clouds. (condensation) When the clouds become full, the water precipitates onto land or into the ocean in the form of rain, sleet, snow or hail (precipitation).

What are 3 examples of actions undertaken in Japan in response to the earthquake and tsunami?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

In the aftermath of the nuclear crisis in Japan, the country engaged in a massive cleanup. It cleared tons of debris, rebuilt roadways and bridges, and demolished and cleared out damaged buildings. In the future, plans should be in place for organizing citizens in cleanup efforts, making the streets safe during cleanup, and safely disposing of debris.

In addition, public transportation and airports need to function as soon as possible after such an event. Therefore, government staff should develop disaster-recovery plans for the most vital transportation systems. Local governments also need to provide short-term and longer-term housing for those who lose their homes. Designated shelters, such as schools or other community buildings, should be made ready for this purpose. Governments also need to help people get insurance payments, loans for rebuilding, and sound advice for where to locate new homes and how to strengthen them.

Earthshine is illumination seen during which phase of the moon?
Slav-nsk [51]
Earthshine is even more faint because the moon's "albedo" (a specific kind of reflectivity) is less than Earth's. Even though this dim light is only a reflection it can still illuminate some features of the moon. Earthshine can be best seen during the crescent phases (the 1-5 day period before or after a New Moon).
