All topographic maps used the same map legend because this is the most practical way to share symbols and colors. If every region had its own unique map legend, reading topographic maps would be a nightmare.

Answer:

HEY JEREMY!

Explanation:

A topographic map is a detailed and accurate two-dimensional representation of natural and human-made features on the Earth's surface. These maps are used fora number of applications, from camping, hunting, fishing, and hiking to urban planning, resource management, and surveying.

Map legend is a key to the symbols. It provides a complete listing of all the symbols used on the map and the corresponding features they represent. The legend can be located along the borders, below the map, or on the back of the map. Although many symbols used in different maps are similar, there is no one standard international legend for topographic maps. USGS topographic maps' legends. The margin of the map contains other important information such as map scale, north arrow, declination diagram, datum, publisher, date, etc.

The Earth is differentially heated. What does this mean? Describe 3 factors that influence the heating of Earth. How does differ
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

It is related to how the sun's rays strike the surface of the Earth.

At the equator, the rays strike the Earth almost perpendicular to its surface, warming up a small area. At high latitudes, the curve of the Earth causes the rays to strike a larger surface area, so the same amount of heat is distributed over a larger area. That means it does not warm up as much as at the equator.

This difference in temperature between the equator and the poles causes our atmosphere and ocean to circulate.

But in the ocean there is another effect. The sun at the equator also warms the surface ocean and causes water to evaporate. This makes the ocean more salty. In other areas, where there is a lot of rain, the ocean is less salty.

It is the combination of differences in temperature and salinity that causes the deep ocean beneath the reach of the wind to circulate.

Culture is defined as _____:
Nesterboy [21]
Culture is defined as C. a learned way of living.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, culture is defined as "<span>the act of developing the intellectual and moral </span>faculties<span> especially by education."

If this is too hard for you to understand, it's basically saying that culture is the development of your intellect and your morals/ethics by education from those people who came before you, previous generations. Culture is passed down from generation to generation, and is also improved/changed.
