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.

Yanka [14]

B. General warming of both land and sea

Explanation:

The data on the map suggests general warming of both land and sea across the world. In fact, this is typically a global warming phase.

  • The blue shade represents low temperature whereas the red shade is for higher temperature values.
  • Areas around the poles should be cold due to the ice caps around the region.
  • From the map, red shades can be seen in both the land and sea surface temperature maps around the pole.
  • This is a big anomaly which suggests a deviation from what is known to be the normal trend in polar regions
  • One can deduce a warming globe from this map.
