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.

How might Texas’ aquatic species differ from species in other states, for example in Oregon, Michigan, or New York?
weeeeeb [17]

The Texas species differ from those in Michigan, Oregon, and New York because they have physical adaptations for a different (warmer) environment.

<h3>How are aquatic species in Texas different from aquatic species in Oregon, Michigan, and New York?</h3>

The different species of animals that exist around the world are the result of long physical and chemical processes of adaptation to the environment and the climatic, biotic and abiotic conditions of a place. From the above, it can be inferred that species from two different points on the planet (for example: Michigan, Oregon and New York and Texas) have different physical and biological conditions as a result of their adaptation processes.

In particular, the aquatic species of Texas are characterized by having greater adaptability to warm waters due to the latitudinal location of this state. On the other hand, fish from Michigan, Oregon, and New York are more likely to survive in cooler waters because they are closer to the North Pole. Additionally, these species are in regions where the seasons change throughout the year, so their bodies must be adapted to these conditions.

Point M is the midpoint of segment AB. If AM = 50 – 3x and MB = –20 + 4x, find the value of x.
kicyunya [14]

Since M is the midpoint of the segment AB then measure of AM and MB are equal. So to solve the value of x, equate the following measurement

AM = MB

50 – 3x = -20 + 4x

70 = 7x

<span>X = 10</span>

Chapter 6 problem: What is the damage one can expect from a catastrophic hurricane? Give a detailed list from your text.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

-Homes destroyed

-Fallen trees and power poles

-Power outages

-Uninhabitable area

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed, which is useful to estimates the potential property damage. From category 3 and higher, we consider them major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage.

Category 4 (209-251 km/h) and category (252 km/h or higher) hurricanes can cause catastrophic damages, <em>these include high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed (total roof failure and wall collapse), fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas, power outages that last for weeks to months and most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

According to the online content article about Antarctica and the Atacama, why are parts of Antarctica considered to be deserts?
