How are maps used to show information about space on Earth?

Advanced Placement (AP)
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The map projections represent simplified versions of the Earth, or other space objects. While they are made to give us the best possible representation of what is depicted on them, they are still too small, and too simplified, to be able to depict the object as it really is in the nature. As one of the biggest problems is balancing the form and size of the map, with the practical aspect of its usage, and the real shapes and forms, they exhibit distortions. The distortions tend to be large with the increase of latitude, while the lower latitudes have little to no distortions.

Explain how the ethnic diversity of the United States and Canada has influenced the arts.
Leno4ka [110]
The most prominent evidence would be regions and their cultures. Personally, I don’t know much about Canada, but the U.S. is a land built off of other countries immigrating. Even though the majority is now Americanized Caucasian people, there are still prominent cultural regions within the borders. For example, Louisiana is known for its Cajun culture, which stems from the French. Also, the South is more populated with African Americans due to the history of slavery (sad but true). Also in California, although diverse, there is a huge population of Filipinos and other Asians due to the immigration during the 1920s and discrimination back then.
As for the arts, these regions affected cultural life and created artifacts and art for modern society to analyze and enjoy. With these new eras, art comes in movements. One that stands out to me is the Harlem Renaissance in NY during the 1920s. Many former and runaway slaves seeked refuge in this crevice of Manhattan and expressed themselves through art, music/jazz, dancing, etc. Other regions have their own culture within that hand shaped the arts, as well.

What are some of the human activities that threaten the worlds largest surviving regions of rainforest
Oduvanchick [21]
Almost half of the rainforests have been destroyed due to the human demand of land and wood. Logging interests that involve cutting down rainforests for timber is also a threatening human activity. Mining operations cut down forests completely to dig mines. Hydroelectric projects destroy large stretches of rainforest by flooding. Road building also is a problem.
