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.

The problem with using arithmetic population density to investigate the population
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

To get crude density, divide the total land area by the total population. You can see that when you measure a large area of land, the arithmetic density becomes meaningless because it “blends in” the urban population and masks the sparsely-inhabited areas with an average.

Is energy being used as a geopolitical weapon?
Oksanka [162]

I think the answer is yes or true that the energy is being used as a geopolitical weapon.

Usually, it is the oil that is being used as the geopolitical weapon, but just like the case in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, they turned energy manipulation to a geopolitical weapon.
