Answer: B. It is useful for navigation.
Explanation:
The Mercator is a famous map projections that was created by Geradus Mercator who was a Flemish geographer in 1569.
The Mercator is used for nautical purposes and is regarded as the standard map projection due to the fact that the lines of true direction can be represented on it and hence useful for navigation.
Answer:
a) 3rd or 4th stage Rostow model
b) Semi-peripheral country
c ) Georgia
Explanation:
The level of Rostow this country is : 3rd or 4th stage of the Rostow model
The stage of Wallerstein this country can be categorized into is the : Semi-peripheral country. This is because the country does not depend wholly on a core country for everything, it has its own government , processes its raw materials and export finished goods as well.
The country been described is most likely to be Georgia
Answer:
Working age population declining
The number of female babies killed, abandoned, or placed in orphanages increased as a result of the policy. Even after the one-child policy was rescinded, China's birth and fertility rates remained low, leaving the country with a population that was aging too rapidly as well as a shrinking workforce
Most parts of Russia : Are far from bodies of water.
Most of its region is continental.
This often cause major crisis in finding enough clean water to fulfill the people's needs.
A tropical cyclone (TC) is a rotational low-pressure system in tropics when the central pressure falls by 5 to 6 hPa from the surrounding and maximum sustained wind speed reaches 34 knots (about 62 kmph). It is a vast violent whirl of 150 to 800 km, spiraling around a centre and progressing along the surface of the sea at a rate of 300 to 500 km a day.
The word cyclone has been derived from Greek word ‘cyclos’ which means ‘coiling of a snake’. The word cyclone was coined by Heary Piddington who worked as a Rapporteur in Kolkata during British rule. The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are region specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". Tropical cyclones are called “Hurricanes” over the Atlantic Ocean and “Typhoons” over the Pacific Ocean. The reason is that the earth's rotation sets up an apparent force (called the Coriolis force) that pulls the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere (and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere). So, when a low pressure starts to form over north of the equator, the surface winds will flow inward trying to fill in the low and will be deflected to the right and a counter-clockwise rotation will be initiated. The opposite (a deflection to the left and a clockwise rotation) will occur south of the equator.
This Coriolis force is too tiny to effect rotation in, for example, water that is going down the drains of sinks and toilets. The rotation in those will be determined by the geometry of the container and the original motion of the water. Thus, one can find both clockwise and counter-clockwise flowing drains no matter what hemisphere you are located. If you don't believe this, test it out for yourself.
