the characteristic of projections which portray accurate sizes but distort shapes of land masses is called ____
denis23 [38]

Answer:

equivalence

Explanation:

Recall that this principle is the basis of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the German researcher, gravity is not a force that acts independently on each object, but rather a deformation of the same temporal space tissue.

According to the test carried out now by the team of astronomers, these three dead stars in two of their forms, a pulsar or a white dwarf, are perfect candidates to confirm the theory.

The equivalence was already understood centuries ago by Galileo Galilei. In his famous test of the spheres in the Tower of Pisa he demonstrated the existence on Earth. Subsequently, astronaut David Scott did the same on the lunar surface in 1971.

Now, this team has demonstrated it by studying two of the densest objects in the universe. Until today, many believed that the high density of the pulsar made him exempt from complying with the equivalence principle. However, being subjected to the gravitational field of one of the white dwarfs, the closest and least massive, after six years of observations, they have been able to demonstrate that both bodies have the same acceleration. And, if there is a difference, it is less than three parts between one million. That is the conclusion reached by a new test that tested Einstein and corroborated his theories once again.

What is the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis in Asia? How do seismic events like earthquakes cause tsun
NISA [10]

The top layer of Earth is an interesting place. Also known as the 'crust,' this thin, solid layer is much more than meets the eye. If Earth were an apple, the skin of that apple could represent the crust in terms of thickness and location. But unlike an apple skin, Earth's crust isn't one large piece covering the entire planet. Instead, it's broken up into many different pieces called tectonic plates that fit together like a large puzzle.

Also unlike the apple, underneath the solid crust is not a deliciously crispy interior. Instead, directly below the crust, we have a thick liquid layer called the mantle. Because it is liquid, the mantle flows and moves around, which moves the plates sitting on top like pieces of ice on a pond.

When the plates get moved around, they wreak havoc because they crash into, and pull apart from, and rub against each other. And as you can imagine, these interactions can do some pretty serious damage. On Earth, these tectonic events result in dangerous natural disasters around the world, like earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.

Earthquakes

Earthquakes can and do happen anywhere in the world, but the majority of them occur in a region known as 'The Ring of Fire.' As you'll learn a little later in this lesson, this is also where most of the world's volcanoes are found and where the name comes from.

The reason so many earthquakes occur in these areas is because this is where many of Earth's tectonic plates come together. Earthquakes begin deep underground along plate boundaries. Tension and pressure build up as the plates slide past and bump into each other and sometimes even stick together. Although the plate boundaries themselves may be stuck, the plates keep moving and pulling. Eventually, the pulling becomes too much and the plates suddenly break free from each other, causing an earthquake!

You can think of an earthquake like a game of tug-of-war. If you and your friend are both pulling on opposite ends of the rope and suddenly your friend lets go, all of that tension quickly leaves the rope and down onto the ground you go! An earthquake is very much the same - the plates get stuck together as they move, building up tension. Suddenly, the plates slip past each other and break free, sending that built-up tension through the ground in all directions.
