Answer:

A meridian is the half of the imaginary great circle on the Earth's surface terminated by the North pole and the South pole, connecting points of equal longitude

The imaginary prime meridian divides the globe into Eastern and Western hemispheres. The meridian divides the globe just as the equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern hemispheres. The meridian is 0° longitudes same as the equator is 0° latitude.

Why do mapmakers have to choose between showing the correct land shapes and distances on the earth?
Olin [163]

The mapmakers have to make this choice because of the shape of our planet and because there is still not a method as to how to have both the land shapes and distances to be precise at the same time.

The shape of the earth is the factor that is not allowing (at least for now) that we have both correct land shapes and precise distances on the maps of the Earth. Because the Earth has a rounded shape, as we move further away from the Equator, the shapes are deforming more and more, or rather they are stretching more and more which makes them appear much bigger than they actually are, thus giving us an unrealistic picture of the size of some of the places on our planet.

Briefly explain how physical weathering enhances the rate (speed) of chemical weathering?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Physical weathering enhances the rate of chemical weathering .

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the breaking down of rocks by various processes like freezing and thawing without altering the rocks chemical composition.

While, chemical weathering involves the disintegration and dissolution of rocks by the chemical processes like oxidation , carbonation and solution processes etc.

Generally a fractured rock can easily be weathered by chemical agents rather than a normal fractured rock.

So ,

when a rock is already subjected to physical weathering, the rock will develop cracks on it and when the chemical agents comes in contact with that rock, the chemical solution will penetrate into those cracks and will dissolve the rocks at a rapid rate.
