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.

Name at least one advantage and one disadvantage of building the Transamazonica Highway in Brazil.
Gre4nikov [31]

The Transamazonica Highway in Brazil is going to be both, useful and destructive, depending on the point of view.

The biggest advantage of this highway is that it will connect the cities, towns, and villages in the Amazon rain forest with the rest of Brazil, as they now are very isolated and it very hard to travel to any place in the country from there.

The biggest disadvantage is that the highway will be cutting right through the rain forest, and for sure, millions of animals will die on the highway by getting hit by the vehicles driving on it, as the rain forest animals are not aware of the dangers of the roads.
