The builder of a house on a cliff overlooking the ocean should be concerned about what

Geography
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

Building a house on a cliff is a very trick thing. The cliffs usually are not composed of hard rocks, but instead are usually composed of sedimentary rocks which are much softer and less stable on the long run. The cliffs are also exposed to heavy erosion, in the lower parts because of the waves, in the higher parts because of the winds. The erosion makes the cliffs slowly fall apart, and occasionally even crumble down, so a builder that would build a house on a cliff should be wary of all these things and construct the house where it is the safest for the long run.

If globes are better at showing the Earth accurately, why do we still use maps?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Even though globes are showing Earth more accurately, the maps are still used because they are more practical.

Explanation:

Earth is generally shown with two methods, one being the maps (map projections) and the other being globes. Both are used and will be used, as both have several advantages, but also several disadvantages. Despite globes being closer and more accurate in their representation of Earth, the maps are still used because they are much more practical.

The globes show Earth very close to its true form, though they are made as a ball, not as an ellipsoid. Anyhow, the globes don't have distortions of areas, so the sizes and locations are accurate on them. On the other hand, globes are highly impractical because of their shape, as they are don't often fit in standard backpacks or bags, and can easily be broken or damaged. Also, we can not see the entire Earth at any moment, so it is hard to make comparisons by using them.

The maps, on the other side, do have inaccuracies, mostly by having distortions, be it around the Equator or around the poles. Despite this, they have a relatively good accuracy that in most cases is enough for practical usage. Also, their form and weight make them easy to use, move from place to place, and the entire world can be seen at the same time, thus they are very practical when it comes to making comparisons.
