Hypothesis for drought​
Burka [1]

Answer:

Drought is a condition, not a hypothesis. Drought is the lack of rain, or evaporation in excess of precipitation.

The CAUSE of drought is a multi-pronged hypothesis. It can be due to cyclic changes in ocean temperature (El Niño/La Niña). It can be due to rain shadow downwind of a mountain range. It can be due to fluctuations in the sun’s brightness. It can be the result of urban sprawl and resulting shifts in upwind evaporation/transpiration. It can be the result of climate bands shifting in response to changing atmospheric composition. It can be the result of agricultural practices upwind. It can be just bad luck, with a location consistently not being the whatever-percent chance of where it’s raining.

A student is using a map in which the features are distorted and the land size is more accurate near the equator.
finlep [7]

Answer:

Mercator projection

Explanation:

Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that  is our planet has always been a challenge.  The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.

There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too.  The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.
