The correct answer is - A. land to sink.

Mexico City is a huge city, the second biggest in the world in fact, and it is a city that has been built over the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. The problem is that it is actually built over a drained lake. Because relatively recently there was a lake present in that area, the soil is very soft and labile, and there's lots of groundwater reserves bellow it. By taking out the water of the groundwater reserves, big spaces are opening up inside the ground, and the soft sediments from above can not sustain the weight on top of them, so the land starts to sink.

1. A ______________ is a way of filling in the gaps that would exist if a spherical globe were flattened into a two-dimensional

Kruka [31]

A map projection is a way of filling in the gaps that would exist if a spherical globe were flattened into a two-dimensional map.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Map projection is a strategy with which you spread out and level a globe's surface which is round or blended in to a level tow dimensional surface that causes you to make a map. Be that as it may, this expects you to make an appropriate reorganization and sequential arrangement of the scopes and the longitudes which are found on the looking of earth, from a round to a level surface. To build up a guide from a globe, it is impossible without a map projection. There are three sorts of guide projections existing to undercover a globe into a plane surface.
