Answer:
Neither country wanted to engage in a nuclear war that would lead to worldwide destruction.
Explanation:
The US and USSR became arch enemies soon after World War II ended, and that continued to be the case until the USSR seized to exist. The two countries became opponents and developed very bad and tense relations because they had different ideas as to how the world should shape up, but also because both of them wanted to be the only dominant power in the world.
Both countries were heavily armed and the weaponry was constantly icnreasing, with newer and better weapons constantly been created to gain an advantage. Nuclear weapons were abundant at both as well, but they never got used in an open war between them. The reason was simple, if a direct war between them occurred, there would have been worldwide destruction and everyone will lose, so that was kept as the last option in case of an attack by the other. Not to be mistaken though, these two were constantly in war with each other, not just diplomatic, but also military one, just that they used other countries as battlefields where they supported a particular side.
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.
I know jobs for one, over population maybe, and because they are worried that dangerous people could be entering into the country with intention to harm. (unless this is a "only 3 right answer" kind of thing)
If your question is literally how long they could remain without water, the answer is 1-2 days with major side effects, and 3-4 with certain death.
Answer:
a. plants are preserved as fossils
Explanation:
Through the passing of time, the dead bodies like plants or animals rest in soil, and the cover by different particles, with the time they can be compressed and form a soil layer. If the environment condition changes they get caught in one soil layer. If this process is repeated constantly, so a new soil layer will be formed. So passing the time, different soil layers will have different animals or plants. With the help of isotopes, the scientist can determine the years of each layer.
