You would use the Equal Area Projection because it more accurately shows the size of landmasses. In the Mercator Projection While border shape is well preserved in an elegant flat map the stretching of the image done in order to preserve this distorts the map by making it appear as if Greenland is almost the same size as south america even though in reality Greenland is much smaller.

In the aftermath of the reconstruction era white southerners took extreme measures to redefines the south. In 2-3 paragraphs dis

WINSTONCH [101]

After Reconstruction, white Southerners took extreme measures to ensure that African-Americans did not gain political power. One of the reasons why is because they feared that African-Americans would elect individuals who would try to change the southern way of life. In order to stop this from happening, several actions were taken.

1) Voting obstacles- Even though the 15th amendment said the no one can be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude, many southern states went around this by implementing literacy tests and poll taxes. These tests and taxes significantly affected the African-American community, as many of them did not have a formal education nor a large enough income to vote.

2) Development of Ku Klux Klan- This organization used violence, intimidation, and threats to ensure that African-Americans did not use the rights guaranteed to them in the constitution.

1. I am definitely sure that this response has most directly impacted citizens in the United States: heightened domestic security measures to defend against terrorism. Military actions against suspected terrorist compounds and foreign policy doesn't have the direct impact on the citizens because it can't grant them 100% security from terrorists in the place citizens live.

2. I think the most suitable answer is: <span>All terrorist groups have political goals that they try to achieve through violent means. According to its definition, terrorism is the use of violence against civilians to achieve particular political goals. There are many political organisation which have been involved in terrorism because of their political aims. It could nationalists, religious groups or revolutionaries.

3. The information in the sentence given above provides evidence for poverty. Poverty is the term which describes the state of those who lacks of money or other material goods. There are different reasons of poverty, like political, economic or social. This term is also could be described as inequality. This inequality occurred because of industrialization and corruption.

4. I am completely sure that Chernobyl accident</span> exposed people, crops, and animals to deadly radiation over a wide area. There was catastrophic nuclear accident caused by the explosion of the Reactor No. 4. National and international spread of radiation was four hundred times more than by the bombing of Hiroshima.

5. If my memory serves me well, correct answer to this question should be: It made efforts to draw attention to child slavery. This attention helped to decrease the number of organisations involved in child slavery.

6. As far as I remember the United Nations has taken part in the international response to developers who threaten the ways of life of indigenous peoples by establishing standards for development.

7. In my view deforestation is a threat to the environment because it causes erosion, which leads to flooding. Deforestation is very harmful to the environment because forests covers in about 30% the land area on our planed and produce oxygen and also it cause land erosion and affects on weather.

8. I think this statement about world poverty is an opinion rather than a fact: Poor nations should take steps to restrict their population growth to ease demands on limited resources. The word "should" leads me to the conclusion that this statement is kinda advice. And this is correct advice as it's one of the ways to reduce the level of poverty.

1. Japan made invasions to Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore.

In this period, the Japanese army, partner of Germany and Italy, wanted to enlarge their colonial empire in the south, so they attack several countries belonging to France, England, and the United States.

The 7 December 1941, they attacked Pearl Harbor, which was the biggest American naval base of the Pacific ocean, in Hawaii archipelago. It was a huge victory for Japan. The official war between Japan and the United States and his allies started after this event.

→ The three attacks that Japan launched after Pearl Harbor were:

1. They continued the invasions in this geographic area taking control of Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore. The two sides faced each other in all those places for 4 months but the USA and England were absolutely unable to stop Japan who invaded easily.

2. The second attack against allied happened on 7-8 May 1942, after the Japanese invaded Tulagi. It was the first fight that only took place in the sky and not in the sea. The two sides faced damages during this battle so they both retired but this battle was considered as a victory of allied forces because Japan lost their two fleet carriers, Shōkaku and Zuikaku.

3. Between 4 and 7 June 1942, Japan attack a third time, the battle of Midway. This time it was a clear victory of the United States who discovered the plan of their opponent before the fight and succeed to sink the 4 Japanese fleet carriers.
