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.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

C. Low-frequency seismic waves cause more ground acceleration than do high-frequency waves.

Explanation:

Low-frequency seismic waves covers more distance as compared to high-frequency waves because high frequency wave provide more energy to the medium while low frequency waves supply less energy to the medium so which makes the wave to go further. Lower frequency waves "penetrate" into a materials better, because energy particles having lower frequencies having less energy and they pass through the medium without interacting with the matter.
