Answer:
A projected coordinate system is defined on a flat two-dimensional surface. Unlike a geographic coordinate system, a projected coordinate system has constant lengths, angles and areas in both dimensions.
Explanation:
Locations on earth are often expressed in geographic degrees (latitude and longitude). But when you are doing a topographic survey you need to speak in meters and feet. This is because, depending on the application, it uses a geographic or projected coordinate system.
A <u>geographic coordinate system</u> (GCS) is a coordinate system that uses a three-dimensional spherical surface (ellipsoid) to define locations on the earth. A common choice of coordinates is latitude and longitude.
In a <u>projected coordinate system</u> (PCS), you project the geographic coordinate that you have measured, for example, in a cylinder that easily unfolds over a two-dimensional surface (the map).
The early European exploration of Australia's interior was prevented by the Western Plateau and the Great Dividing Range.
Explanation:
Australia was discovered and explored by the Europeans much latter than the other large land masses on the planet, apart from Antarctica of course. When Australia was discovered, it was not inhabited, but it was after some time when the British came that Europeans started to settle in. Australia was actually used as a prison, as it is mostly British prisoners that were brought and settled.
It was only the coastal areas that were explored and settled though, while the interior was left untouched. The reason for this were the natural obstacles, mainly the Great Dividing Range and the Western Plateau. The Great Dividing Range is a high and steep mountain range, covered with dense forest, in a roughly north-south direction, and it was extremely hard and dangerous to pass it. The Western Plateau is an enormous plateau that is mostly covered with deserts, so naturally the people avoided it.
Even nowadays, there is very big portion of Australia that is not explored and is void of humans, such as:
- Great Victoria Desert
- Great Artesian Basin
- The tropical rainforest in the northeast
- Macdonnel Ranges
