People would most likely live in the dark green and the light green regions because they are fertile and are along the coast of the Mediterranean, where there is a humid climate, so rain would be common. For example, people would be more likely to live in Lebanon, than say, Iran because Lebanon is more fertile and has more moisture than Iran, which has a mostly semiarid and arid climate.
Answer:
Parallax would be most effective in measuring distances to stars which are close to the Earth.
Explanation:
In the experiment,
- The parallax shift would decrease as the pencil would move further away from the scientist's eye, so option 1 would be invalid.
- the size of the pencil remains constant, so option 2 would be invalid.
- the parallax shift can be observed when the pencil has objects in the background to provide relation, that is to say, the shift of the pencil when seen relative to background objects; therefore, if we assume that the pencil is a star nearby to the Earth, and the background objects are stars that are further away, then the shift of, and thus, distance to the nearby star can be easily observed.
