Answer:

Both developed and developing countries have had significant negative impacts on the environment.

Explanation:

The environment has been very badly affected by human activity. The negative effect has been present for a very long time, progressively becoming more and more serious, but since the start of the Industrial Revolution it has exponentially increased and the effects have been horrific. While there are differences between the impact of developed and developing countries, the fact is that both have had significant negative impacts.

The now developed countries were actually the first ones to start with massive impact on the environment, which was a result of the usage of fossil fuels, rapid economic growth, and constantly growing demand for natural resources. The developing countries have started off later with their massive impact, but it has had the same results. While the developed countries are turning a page and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, that is not the case with the developing countries that try to become developed. To put it simply, The forests that were destroyed in the UK several hundred years ago are not getting back, and the forests that were recently destroyed and still are getting destroyed in Indonesia will not just come back, at least not with the current trends.

How does map scale affect cartography?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. This simple concept is complicated by the curvature of the Earth's surface, which forces scale to vary across a map. Because of this variation, the concept of scale becomes meaningful in two distinct ways.
