Geography
1 answer:

<span>A map that is drawn to scale/has a scale means that you can measure a distance on the map and it will be the same on the ground according to the scale. 
Said another way, if I know where I am, (or a given starting point), that is on the map, I can find a second point that I want to get to, measure the distance on the map and it will be the same distance on the ground. 
Note that the units of measurement have to be the same. If the map scale is 1:50,000, then one foot on the map is 50,000 feet on the ground. If it's one shoe on the map (I just put the map on the floor, took off my shoe and put it on the map, made a mark on the map at the heel and another at the toe), then on the ground, the distance will be 50,000 shoe lengths.</span><span>Source(s):</span>

lorasvet [3.4K]

Meteorology is the study of the climate and weather

Clouds form when (invisible) water vapor turns into visible water droplets or ice, it then becomes gas.

The rain occurs because the clouds have water droplets in them, they condense into each other and then fall to earth as rain.

Thunder is created when lighting passes through the air.

A meteorologia é o estudo do clima e do tempo

Nuvens se formam quando o vapor de água (invisível) se transforma em gotículas de água visíveis ou gelo, então se transforma em gás.

Explain factors that account
quester [9]

In the past century, the world has recorded a rapid increase and decrease in population in different geographical areas. This has been influenced by different factors such as urbanization and family planning.

Urbanization creates better employment opportunities and wages. It also provides better social amenities such as schools and hospitals. These encourage people to move from rural areas to urban areas in search of a better living. The migration results in a decrease of population is the rural areas and a rapid increase in population in the urban cities.

Increased access to contraceptives has enabled women to limit family sizes. Women are able to plan for the number of children they intend to have. This has generally decreased the population growth in developed regions.
