The best answer is C.

Mercator projection is a type of map projection invented and introduced by Gerardus Mercator in the year 1569. The meridians are equally spaced, parallel vertical lines and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal lines spaced farther apart as their distance from the equator increases.

This projection is widely used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator- projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course.

It is often described as a cylindrical projection  but it must be derived mathematically.

What is one conclusion you can draw about changing political boundaries in africa represented on the maps?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The main conclusion that can be determined by observing the map of Africa is that the borders of the nations of modern Africa were determined by the colonial powers that distributed the territories of the continent after the Berlin Conference. Thus, the present borders of the continent do not respect the historical nationalities that the African tribes give each other, with which ethnic conflicts occur in many of these nations, especially in central Africa. Thus, although today it is a practically impossible situation, in case of wanting to respect the historical nationalities of the peoples of the continent, the current national borders should be modified taking into account the ethnic, social and cultural differences of its inhabitants.
