Answer:
A.
Explanation:
The given projection of map is an example of Mercator projection with distorted land areas.
The Mercator projection of map was designed by Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. The map projection is suitable for navigation purposes as it projects the northern countries in north and southern in south. Though the projection of land areas is distorted. The continent of Antartica is projected large in area and Greenland is projected smaller than Africa, which in reality is fourteen times larger than the continent.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
I think it might be logic, but I'm not sure since Socrates studied philosophy.
Explanation:
I'm just guessing, sorry if it's wrong!
False. The battle cry of the French revolution of "liberty, equality, fraternity" was thrilling slogan which was incongruent with the reality of French society. It would have been difficult to achieve liberty with a strong government in place, Also, the idea of fraternity was inconceivable in a nation that comprised mostly of peasants
After the Civil War, the economic recovery of the southern United States hinged on trade with the North and moving goods westward via the railroad. But there was a problem. Tracks in the South had been built with a gauge (or track width) of 5 feet but the majority of tracks in the North had a 4-foot 9-inch gauge (more or less).
So after much planning, over a concentrated two-day period in the summer of 1886, the width of thousands of miles of railroad track (and the wheels on thousands of rail cars) in the South was reduced by three inches.
Rolling stock, too, was being prepared for rapid conversion. Contemporary accounts indicate that dish shaped wheels were provided on new locomotives so that on the day of the change, reversing the position of the wheel on the axle would make the locomotive conform to the new gauge. On some equipment, axles were machined to the new gauge and a special ring positioned inside the wheel to hold it to the 5-foot width until the day of the gauge change. Then the wheel was pulled, the ring removed, and the wheel replaced.
To shorten the axles of rolling stock and motive power that could not be prepared in advance, lathes and crews were stationed at various points throughout the South to accomplish the work concurrently with the change in track gauge.
