Answer:

1) a) $r_{R,I} = 1150\,m$ , b) $r_{R,II} = 3400\,m$ , c) $r_{R,III} = 2750\,m$ .

2) a) $r_{R,I} = 45,2\,km$ , b) $r_{R, II} = 28,15\,km$ , c) $r_{R,III} = 51,8\,km$ .

Explanation:

The scale factor is defined by the following expression:

$n = \frac{r_{S}}{r_{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$n$ - Scale factor.

$r_{S}$ - Scale distance, in centimetres.

$r_{R}$ - Real distance, in centimetres.

1) If we know that $n = \frac{1}{50000}$ , $r_{S,I} = 2,3\,cm$ , $r_{S,II} = 6,8\,cm$ and $r_{S,III} = 5,5\,cm$ , then the actual distances in metres are:

$r_{R,I} = \frac{r_{S,I}}{n}$

$r_{R,I} = \frac{2,3\,cm}{\frac{1}{50000} }$

$r_{R,I} = 115000\,cm$

$r_{R,I} = 1150\,m$

$r_{R,II} = \frac{r_{S,II}}{n}$

$r_{R,II} = \frac{6,8\,cm}{\frac{1}{50000} }$

$r_{R,II} = 340000\,cm$

$r_{R,II} = 3400\,m$

$r_{R, III} = \frac{r_{S, III}}{n}$

$r_{R,III} = \frac{5,5\,cm}{\frac{1}{50000} }$

$r_{R,III} = 275000\,cm$

$r_{R,III} = 2750\,m$

2) If we know that $n = \frac{1}{50000}$ , $r_{S, I} = 90,4\,cm$ , $r_{S, II} = 56,3\,cm$ and $r_{S,III} = 103,6\,cm$ , then the actual distance in kilometres is:

$r_{R,I} = \frac{r_{S,I}}{n}$

$r_{R,I} = \frac{90,4\,cm}{\frac{1}{50000} }$

$r_{R,I} = 4520000\,cm$

$r_{R,I} = 45,2\,km$

$r_{R,II} = \frac{r_{S,II}}{n}$

$r_{R,II} = \frac{56,3\,cm}{\frac{1}{50000} }$

$r_{R,II} = 2815000\,cm$

$r_{R, II} = 28,15\,km$

$r_{R, III} = \frac{r_{S, III}}{n}$

$r_{R,III} = \frac{103,6\,cm}{\frac{1}{50000} }$

$r_{R,III} = 5180000\,cm$

$r_{R,III} = 51,8\,km$

Why does Northern Russia have such a cold climate?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The very cold winters are associated with the country's high latitudes, lack of topographic barriers, and the extensive size of land. In the northern parts of Russia, the winters are milder and characterized by frequent precipitation all through the year. These parts of the country are influenced by the Baltic Sea.
