Answer:

Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub

Explanation:

is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.[4] Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub, after which the crater is named.[5] It was formed by a large asteroid or comet about 11 to 81 kilometres (6.8 to 50.3 miles) in diameter,[2] the Chicxulub impactor, striking the Earth. The date of the impact coincides precisely with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–Pg boundary), slightly less than 66 million years ago,[3] and a widely accepted theory is that worldwide climate disruption from the event was the cause of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs.

Where would you look to find out how distances on a map compare to the actual distance on land
Leni [432]

The correct answer is - at the low left part of the map.

The maps have multiple elements, and one of those elements is the scale. The scale can be found on the lower part on the map, on the left side. It serves to give us the information about the distance on the map, in comparison to the actual distance in reality. This information can be shown either as unit to unit, or as measurement to measurement.

Example:

1:100,000

This means that one unit on the map, will be equal to 100,000 same units in actual distance. So 1 cm on the map, will be 100,000 cm in real life.
