How can technology improve geographical representations

1 answer:

6 0

Technology has totally changed the way maps are made and geographical areas are represented, both regarding the calculation methods and the materials and technology used (nowadays we use databases instead of paper)

In times past, geographers had to rely on anachronistic tools to create maps. Therefore, the accuracy of their calculations was often very poor. Observation and information collected from travelers, sailors and merchants was usually the most common way to create maps, in the absence of more reliable sources. Nowadays, computerized mapping and satellites make it a lot easier to map and represent large geographical areas. In conclusion, the advance of technology has been fundamental for the creation of better and more accurate maps.

Answer:

Local collaborators

Explanation:

Germany had a large, strong, well trained, and well equipped army, but that still was not enough so that they can be all over Europe and control everything themselves. In order to be able to keep things under control and their goals to be achieved, the Germans depended a lot on local collaborators. Some of those collaborators were from the occupied countries, while some were smaller countries that had allied with the Germans. Some of the countries that were helping the Germans in their goals were the Hungarians, Bulgarians, Lithuanians, Italians, Albanians, Croatians. All of them were managing to keep control with their military forces on local level, which was easing things up a lot for the Germans to make further expansion and get involved into some battles.

Westkost [7]

I believe the correct answer is the final option - He used a background of simple Classical columns and arches that don't detract from the figures.
If you take a look at the painting, you will see that you cannot learn much about history because you don't know what is going on, so A is incorrect. B is also incorrect because the colors don't detract from the story. C is incorrect because we don't know if that is true. D is the correct answer because you can see in the painting that the columns are in the background, just to provide a nice view.
