Answer:

The Earth is an oblate spheroid, bulging out slightly at the poles

Explanation:

  • Earth's surface structure is in the form of geoid of three-dimensional structure. As the earth's topographic features are associated with landform and water bodies.
  • Hence earth is not a complete sphere nor a perfect sphere its a form of oval-shaped epllicics and thus has an ellipsoid revolution and a tilt around the sun on its axis.
  • The bulge at the equator is a product of the spinning of the earth and modern geodesy takes this ellipsoidal as a spheroid.

NemiM [27]

Please find question attached

Answer and Explanation:

Example of j shaped curve is population that is doubling in size and exponential growth. in j shaped curve, population increases rapidly and exponentially and then stops suddenly to start decreasing when resources are limited

logistic growth and population whose size is approaching the carrying capacity of the environment are examples of S shaped curve. here population increases slowly and then rapidly before it becomes stable as approaching zero growth

Population size that a particular environment can support indefinitely without long-term damage to the environment and carrying capacity

is indicated by K . Here population is maximum and has reached saturation and will no longer increase
