Answer: They are directly caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun.
Explanation:
Water waves are caused by a whole number of factors, they include,
1.) Local winds
2.) Distant wind
3.) Air pressure
4.) Seismic sea wave
The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves. Although the sun's gravity also contributes to the waves, but its effects are smaller and serve mostly to vary the heights of high and low tide.

Answer:
Africa appears much bigger than the other landmasses on the Peters map projection.
Explanation:
There are numerous projection maps. All of them have some advantages and some disadvantages. One of those map projections in the Peters map projection or Gal-Peters map projection. This map projection's biggest problem is that it stretches certain parts of the world, some horizontally, some vertically.
On this map projection, Africa looks much bigger than it is, and it is comparable with the size of Asia even though Asia is much bigger in reality. The reason for this is that on the Peters map projection a vertical stretching occurrs around the Equator, and since the Equator passes around the middle of Africa the effect is the biggest at this landmass.
I would take the advancement of the refrigeration as a crucial part in the increasing of the production.
The refrigeration has been extremely important in the agriculture and the amount of production in it, because with it the agricultural products can be kept fresh for much longer periods. Because the products can be kept fresh for much longer time, that means that they can be delivered to pretty much every part of the world and not be spoiled. So the refrigeration opened up the doors for the farmers in the sense that instead producing only for the region or the country they live in, they can now produce much more for exporting, as the products will not spoil and remain fresh. That has also brought in much bigger profit for the farmers, and the production is constantly increasing because the whole market in the world is open with this technological advancement.
