Why are maps less accurate at showing earths surface than globe

History
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The maps are the 2 dimensional representation of the earth's surface. This maps are often used to show the earth's surface. But in order to do so, there occurs distortion while projecting on a map. Some of the properties of the map that gets distorted are as follows-

(1) Distance

(2) Direction

(3) Shape

(4) Area

These distortion occurs because earth is spherical in shape. So, while projecting it gets distorted in the polar and the equatorial region mostly, as the pole appears to be larger in size and shape. The direction is also affected.

Due to this reasons, the maps are not so accurate in showing the earths surface, in comparison to a globe.

1. Explain the bad conditions and daily life of the factory.

During the industrial revolution, people worked for 14-16 hours a day in terrible conditions. They were barely payed and most only earned a couple of cents an hour. Young children were forced to work because they can be more meticulously and their labor costed less.

2. Describe details of the daily life of working in a factory.

Factories were terrible places to work. There was barely any light and machines kept on spitting out smoke and soot. There were many accidents, some being fatal. Children developed problems due to the lack of sunlight and exercise and the exposure harmful chemicals and radiation. They were also barely paid and worked for long hours. Women dealt with even less pay. Workers only received 2 breaks in the entire day, for lunch and dinner.

3. Although women were offered with more job opportunities, they were also exposed to dangerous working conditions. Women that worked during the industrial revolution had no control on their job and factories could set any policies against them. They were typically victims of discrimination, abuse, and sexual harassment at factories. They were also paid less and were not treated equally. Factories did not value their existence.

Eventually, women protested for better working conditions and equality. Women also opened better factory systems and policies.
