The answer is I. 25 meters.
Answer:
"Dr. Randall Irmis is a famous paleontologist, who has gone on to make important discoveries since he showed the Penn State CAUSE class this fossil plate from the armored vertebrate Buettneria."
Explanation:
<u>Based on the discussions in the textbook and lecture on the topic of evolution, it is likely that:
</u>
- All species alive today are completely unrelated to Buettneria.
- Some species alive today are essentially identical to Buettneria.
- The most similar species alive today are related to but recognizably different from Buettneria.
Answer:
Mercator projection
Explanation:
Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that is our planet has always been a challenge. The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.
There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too. The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.
Answer:
A Mercator map projection greatly distorts the area of land masses near the poles.
Explanation:
Mercator projection is a projection method where the meridians are deposited vertically on the parallel circles, and where the distance along these circles is gradually stretched more in relation to the terrain it gets closer to the pole. The method is common, for example on world and sea maps. It maintains directions correctly.
The projection gets right at the equator but in theory never reaches the poles and it depends on the cylindrical projection. Gerhardus Mercator's projection became famous in the 16th century and has since been used on the seas.
