The map below shows the locations of what type of boundary?
g100num [7]

Answer:

The red lines on this map show us divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates are in constant movement, and this results in interactions between them. At some places the plates collide, at other places slide past each other, and at some move away from each other. The last ones are the places where there is a divergent plate boundary.

The divergent plate boundaries can occur in the ocean or on land. When they occur in the ocean, they form an underwater mountain range, known as a mid-ocean ridge, which is volcanically highly active. An example of this is the mid-Atlantic ocean ridge. When these boundaries occur on land, they form rifts, where the crust starts to crack, a gap opens up, and gradually widens. An example of this is the Great Rift Valley of Africa.

If globes are better at showing the Earth accurately, why do we still use maps?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Even though globes are showing Earth more accurately, the maps are still used because they are more practical.

Explanation:

Earth is generally shown with two methods, one being the maps (map projections) and the other being globes. Both are used and will be used, as both have several advantages, but also several disadvantages. Despite globes being closer and more accurate in their representation of Earth, the maps are still used because they are much more practical.

The globes show Earth very close to its true form, though they are made as a ball, not as an ellipsoid. Anyhow, the globes don't have distortions of areas, so the sizes and locations are accurate on them. On the other hand, globes are highly impractical because of their shape, as they are don't often fit in standard backpacks or bags, and can easily be broken or damaged. Also, we can not see the entire Earth at any moment, so it is hard to make comparisons by using them.

The maps, on the other side, do have inaccuracies, mostly by having distortions, be it around the Equator or around the poles. Despite this, they have a relatively good accuracy that in most cases is enough for practical usage. Also, their form and weight make them easy to use, move from place to place, and the entire world can be seen at the same time, thus they are very practical when it comes to making comparisons.
