maps Earth on a flat surface

Explanation:

A map projection simply maps the earth to a flat surface. There are different kinds of map projections.

  • The earth is a spherical three dimensional solid body.
  • It is difficult to simply work with three dimensional bodies.
  • Map projection uses mathematical techniques to flatten the earth.
  • This can lead to different kinds of distortion of the earth on the map.
  • Angles and distances are usually the worst hit.

How does a representative democracy differ from an oligarchy? check all that apply .
Finger [1]

Answer:

Difference between Representative Democracy

Explanation:

Representative Democracy is a government system, in which a representative  group of people elected (chosen) by general public - are in power.

a) People elect small group in power, b) Those few <u>public elected</u> people  directly exercise power, c) Government positions are open to many people, d) Anyone can run for office - whosoever chosen by public comes in power : are characteristics of representative democracy, not of oligarchy

Oligarchy is a type of government, in which a small group of powerful people (powerful due to wealth, education, religion, military link etc)  - are in power & the power tends to stay with them.

Oligarchy is run by a small group of powerful people, <u>not elected</u> by general public. Only those few powerful people exercise direct or indirect power - as they are not public representatives. Government positions are not open to many people, anyone cant run office, as the power tends to stay accumulated in that powerful group's hands.

3a.What are the rules of the Coriolis Effect?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(A) The Coriolis force is the force that acts on an object due to the rotation of the earth. The basic rule of this force is that it causes the deflection of wind when it blows from one place to another. The magnitude of this Coriolis force directly depends upon the latitude at which the object is located. This force is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.

(B)- Correct answer is Option (2) i.e  this force can indicate the wind direction in the northern and southern hemisphere,

When the air in a particular area becomes warm due to heating, then it becomes less dense and rises up. This area forms a low pressure zone. This low pressure zone is filled with the air from the high pressure zone. The wind that blows from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure does not move in a straight line. Due to the Coriolis force, this wind gets deviate and reaches the low pressure zone.

<u>Thus, this force indicates the direction from which a wind blows in both the southern and the northern hemisphere. In the southern direction it moves in anticlockwise direction, whereas in the northern hemisphere it moves in clockwise direction.</u>
