Answer:

D: Projecting a round earth on a flat map results in distortions of scale and the shape of landmasses.

Explanation:

A map projection is a two dimensional attempt to portray a tree dimentional object , imagine a sphere fold by a paper.

Then maps can get shapes show some distortion, but size may vary, or in some cases map will rather keep distance but other features will lack accuracy

In potraying the European landscapes for example, projections tend to balance shapes and distort  some areas, so Europe is seen bigger to the rest of the world than it actually is.

  four spatial properties subject to distortion in a projection are:

Shape&Area&Distance&Direction

A map will always show some distortion in respect to these,

the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection,   a cylindrical equal-area projection. .. stretches parallels increasingly away from the equator. This is an effort to try to compensate for the mentioned errors in most maps.

Below you can see some areas shortened, notice the size of Spain in comparison to France, and how the European landmass sees more accurate than in a standard map.

The death of Charles I was significant because
likoan [24]

Answer:

B. England became a democracy.

C. C. He was tried and executed under the law

Explanation:

Price Charles (1600-1649) was the king ruling England, Scotland and Ireland since 1625 to 1649. He was a very aggressive king who believes because he was a king that his decisions are final and no one could question his conscience.

The above looks to be the most significant on the death of Prince Charles during the period of 1649. During this period, the Monarchy form of government was abolished and replaced with democracy pending when Prince Charles's son take over in 1660.

The other point is that it became the first time a King was tried and executed under the law through the parliament.
