Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.

Answer:

Navigation or locations with  constant true bearing

Explanation:

Mercator maps are maps that are used for projecting the world on a piece of paper that has certain number of parallel horizontal and vertical parallel lines. Therefore, exact location of any point can be derived from such maps in terms of constant geographical bearings. The parallel lines are called latitude and the vertical lines are called longitude.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

n+1; n+1; n-1; n-1

Explanation:

Separation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I result in a reduction of the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells of meiosis. If two homologous chromosomes of a pair fail to separate from each other, they both will move to the same pole. In this case, one daughter cell of meiosis I will have both the homologous chromosomes of a pair (n+1) while the other one will lack it (n-1). Meiosis II in these two daughter cells will form a total of four cells. Two of the daughter cells will have one extra chromosome (n+1) while the rest two will lack one chromosome from the haploid set (n-1).

fiasKO [112]

The vestibulocerebellum helps regulate balance and eye movement. Moreover, the spinocerebellum helps regulate body and limb movement and the cerebrocerebellum helps regulate in planning movements.

The vestibulocerebellum is a region of the cerebellum which involved in balance and body position in space.

The spinocerebellum is involved in controlling lateral descending systems in order to regulate distal limb muscles.

The cerebrocerebellum is involved in motor planning by connecting the motor and premotor cortices.
