Answer:
A. the international date line
Answer: wind flows from areas of high to medium pressure at the earth's surface.
Explanation:
Pressure pattern drive wind pattern which in turns drives oceanic pattern.
Wind at the surface of the Earth flows from areas of high to medium pressure. The wind speed is determined by difference in barometric pressure between the linear distance and air columns over which the transition takes place.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
A scale is usually defined as the ratio between the distance between two particular places on the map and the actual distance between the two places on the actual ground surface.
It is widely used by the geographers while studying a map, in order to explain the relationship between the map distance and the earth's distance. This scale is mentioned in the map, mostly at the bottom of the map.
For example, a map scale of 1:500000, this means that 1 centimeter on the map is equivalent to 5000 meters = 5 kilometers on the ground surface.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
