Answer:

Iron cannot release energy either by fission or fusion.

Explanation:

When a high-mass star runs out of hydrogen inside its core, it starts burning helium, and then heavier elements until it reaches iron.

Nuclear fusion of iron cannot occur, because the amount of energy required for the fusion of two nuclei of iron is larger than the energy released.

Therefore, when all the lighter elements lighter than iron have already fuse together, the star cannot burn any other element, so the nuclear fusion inside the core stops and the star collapses on itself, producing a huge explosion known as supernova.

Airida [17]

The false statement is -  B. This map projection does not distort shapes.

The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.

Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.

ICE Princess25 [194]
I would say that the US and the Soviet Union at the end of WWII withdrew their troops as soon as a demilitarized zone was created. Also, I am sure they would require a peace treaty to be signed with Germany before withdrawing troops.
