7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Pollen shows a particular type of plant species and a particular type of environmental condition or habitat condition under which it was living. This type of study of pollen and spores called palynological study.

This type of study comes under the microfossil study, and now it is a very trending topic in determining the paleo-climate. Microfossil study is having more benefits because here we can do both qualitative and quantitative study.

Generally, nowadays we are doing a pollen study to know the glacial and inter glacial events. Because we know under different climatic condition different types of plant will grow. After their death, their pollen's get preserved under sediments and now we are analyzing them to construct the paleo-environment. But remember pollen preservation requires a very quick burial of sediments otherwise they are so susceptible that they can't be preserved .

Answer:

Mercator Projection

Explanation:

Since the beginning of time people have struggled with how to represent the surface of the earth on a plane.  

The major problem is that the earth is round while the plane is not, making difficult to express exact distance and proportion.

Overtime different type of projections have been studied in order to pursue different objectives: the Mercator projection  has straight parallel lines and is often used for ship  navigation.

It was invented by Gerardus Mercator in 1569, and it's one of the most common representation of the earth.

It is used for navigation purpose because it helps navigator design straight lines, but it has some major issues in terms of disproportion between places.

A convection current is caused by differences in  "temperature".

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The convection current is the outcome of variations in temperature. Like hot substance which is less denser, it rises while cool material which is more denser, it sinks. It is this motion that produces circulating processes in the environment, in water and in the Earth's mantle identified as convection currents. When air heats up it increases in the atmosphere, enabling colder air to circulate in below. This air flow generates waves, together with the Earth spinning. In effect, winds produce surface waves over the ocean.
