1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

- plates moving;

- breaking rocks;

- movement bellow the surface;

Explanation:

The earthquakes are a direct result of the plate tectonics. In order for an earthquake to appear, there should be a geologic activity caused by the movement of the tectonic plates. The movement of the tectonic plates causes a lot of pressure on the rocks. The rocks eventually break at certain places under the pressure. A they break, there's movement bellow the surface, or rather inside the crust, also referred to as adjustment. That movement and the release of power from it, causes lot of strong vibrations. The vibrations spread out and start shaking the ground in the surrounding area, which is actually the earthquake itself.

A mercator map projection Group of answer choices is known as a conic type of projection. greatly distorts the area of land mass
Elza [17]

Answer:

A Mercator map projection greatly distorts the area of land masses near the poles.

Explanation:

Mercator projection is a projection method where the meridians are deposited vertically on the parallel circles, and where the distance along these circles is gradually stretched more in relation to the terrain it gets closer to the pole. The method is common, for example on world and sea maps. It maintains directions correctly.

The projection gets right at the equator but in theory never reaches the poles and it depends on the cylindrical projection. Gerhardus Mercator's projection became famous in the 16th century and has since been used on the seas.
