When viewed from the equator (0 degrees latitude), Polaris lies on the northern horizon. As an observer moves northward--say, to Houston, Tex. (30 degrees latitude)-- Polaris is located 30 degrees above the northern horizon.
The role of religion has steadily declined in recent years.
Answer:
Humans alter their environment in many ways. We burn fossil fuels to produce electricity and to power cars, airplanes, and much more. We also remove land to build businesses, homes, and stores, and to grow food. We cut down forests to make things like paper, desks, and houses, and we hunt or raise animals for food. And lastly, we divert rivers to store water in reservoirs and to irrigate farmland.
GDP (Gross market value) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
GNP (Gross National Product) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country's citizens or residents. The difference is subtle but important.
GNP excludes economic activity that occurs for example in the U.S. but is owned by foreigners and includes American economic activity that occurs in other countries.
GDP is place based whereas GNP is ownership based. Thus if a foreigner starts a company in Silicon valley, this will count as GDP, but not GNP. If General Electric opens a new plant in India, this investment will be included in GNP but not GDP.
Answer:
C Proportional measurement
Explanation:
Scales are used to represent proportional measurement. They are mostly used to represent the proportion of real life dimension to the figure on paper or a computer system.
By use of scale we can represent a large detail area with proportionate sizes on paper.
- Scales are used extensively in map making or cartography.
- Objects on map are usually represented proportionately with their dimension on the ground.
- There are different ways of representing a scale.
- There is relative fraction, statement scale and bar scale.
- An adept map reader should be able to translate between map and real life data.
Therefore, the correct choice is that scales represent proportional measurement.
