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.

How do you think the Candy Bomber reflects the story of the Berlin Airlift?​
hichkok12 [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think the Candy Bomber reflects the story of the Berlin Airlift in that it shows the humanitarian side of the military, in this case, American Colonel Gail Halvorsen, who was a command pilot for the US Airforce that participated in the Berlin Airlift, after Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had ordered to close any land entries to West Berlin.

Colonel Halvorsen used to drop candy as a gift to German kids. So people started to call him "Candy Bomber."

The United States, France, and British Airforce sent airplanes full of food and supplies to West Berlin. This helped people survive for almost a year.

Analyze the causes and effects in the rise of a national American identity from 1754 to 1800.
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

From 1754, with the beginning of the French and Indian War, the population of the then British colonies in America began to acquire a feeling of national unity based on the common characteristics of the colonists, the culture of the colonies and the confrontation to a common enemy such as the French.

With the end of the war in 1763, the colonists understood that they did not need Great Britain to defend themselves from external threats, since the colonies alone had defeated the French. Then, added to this, the imposition by Parliament of a series of unfair taxes caused the colonists to rebel against Great Britain, considering themselves a different nation with its own idiosyncrasies.

This originated the beginning of the Revolutionary War, where the colonies embraced the liberal ideology to form a new nation, the United States of America.
