What does the Mercator map projection show accurately making it useful for navigators

History
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]2 years ago
8 0

In a Mercator map projection, parallels and meridians are straight and perpendicular to each other (as in all cylindrical projections). The east-west stretching on the map is accompanied by a corresponding north-south stretching, making it a conformal map projection. However, because the linear scale of the Mercator map increases with latitude, the size of geographical objects gets more distorted the closer you get to the poles.

All lines of constant bearing (rhumbs or loxodromes) are represented by straight segments. <u><em>The conformality and the straight rhumb lines make the projection particularly useful for navigation</em></u>. Bearings can be measured using wind roses and the corresponding directions can easily be transferred from point to point on the map.

What impact has the naturalization process had on the political process (voting)?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Naturalized citizens are mostly more politically involved and tend to participate in things like voting more. Naturalization has a positive effect on voter turnout. Naturalized citizens are often immigrants from areas where their rights are not respected so they move to other places where they are willing to participate in public affairs because the system suits them better.

kompoz [17]

The Spanish influence improved Aztec civilisation by introducing new ideas and technologies. They shared European agricultural techniques, domestic animals, sugar cane, wheat, and more with the Aztecs. The Spanish conquest was noteworthy because it put a stop to the Aztecs' ritualized killing of human beings. This is further explained below.

<h3>The Aztecs and the Conquistadores?</h3>

Generally, The Spanish colonization of Mexico and the subsequent fall of the Aztec Empire are variously referred to as the "Conquest of Mexico" or simply "the Spanish."

In conclusion, On August 13, 1521, Cortes was able to overcome Cuauhtemoc's resistance at Tenochtitlan with the support of the Aztecs' local enemies. It is estimated that 240,000 Aztecs perished in the city's capture, marking the end of the empire.
