Geography

Answer:

The scale used is 1:2,400.

Explanation:

The maps come in numerous different shapes/projections, and they can have numerous different purposes. Every map has its own elements, and one of the most important is the scale. The scale depends on how much should something be shown on the map, or rather depending on how detailed it should be.

In this case, we have 5 cm on the map representing 120 m in reality. In order to get to the scale of the map we have two steps:

  • convert the meters to cm
  • divide the distance in reality with the distance on the map

1 m = 100 cm

120 x 100 = 12,000 cm

12,000 / 5 = 2,400 cm

The result we get is 2,400, meaning that the scale of the map is 1:2,400, or 1 cm on the map represents 2,400 cm in reality.

What ia meant by green revolution​
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Green revolution, great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.
