Answer 1


<h2>Gerardus Mercator</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

He was the first cartographer to use latitude and longitude as an assistant on sailors' maps. By applying a framework of dividing lines to navigational maps, he covered the way for contemporary marine charts.  Sailors utilizing maps in that projection no longer had to recalculate their attitudes on long trips.


Answer 2


<h2>The Lambert Projection more accurately reflects distances, shapes, and directions than the Mercator Projection and cannot show as much area as the Mercator Projection.</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

The Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection is a selective mapping from a globule to a disk. It correctly describes the area in all regions of the sphere, but it does not correctly describe angles. The Lambert azimuthal projection is utilized as a map forecast in cartography.


Answer 3


<h2>The Mercator Projection accurately reflects navigational directions and distorts the actual size and position of continents.</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

This projection is broadly used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of continuous true application that allows a navigator to draft a straight-line course. These projections are usually utilized to express particular geographic regions.

The convection zone, because it shows how energy moves in a convection current

The sun can be divided into 3 major layers;

  1. The core
  2. Radiative zone
  3. Convection zone

Explanation:

The sun is a large sphere with diameter of approximately 1,391,000 km, about 109 times that of the earth. The core of the sun is where the fusion occurs that releases the enormous amount of energy. The core is therefore hotter than the outer shells (with exception of the corona that is hotter than the earth's surface). The convective zone is where the sun churns due to convection currents. The cooler matter on the surface always sinks towards the core, as the hotter matter from below rises to the surface. This is akin to the convection currents in the mantle of the earth.
