Flattening a three-dimensional globe onto a flat surface isn't possible without some distortion. Mercator maps distort the shape and relative size of continents, particularly near the poles. Projections also distort distance, direction, scale and area.

The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by
A) solidification in the lithosphere
B) density differences in the troposphere
C) convection currents in the asthenosphere
D) tidal motions in the hydrosphere
Answer:
c
Explanation:
layers of the earths crust
The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by convection currents in the asthenosphere. Option (c) is correct.
What do you mean by Asthenosphere?The asthenosphere is a solid portion of the upper mantle that is so heated that it can flow and behave like plastic. The asthenosphere supports the lithosphere. The asthenosphere can flow like toothpaste despite being solid. The topmost concentric layers of our globe are the asthenosphere and lithosphere.
Convection currents are created by the intense heat and pressure that exists within the earth. The tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust move as a result of these currents.
Therefore, Option (c) is correct. The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by convection currents in the asthenosphere.

Which object Can an S way travel
Answer:
S-waves can travel only through solids

S-waves can travel only through solids, because only solids have rigidity. S-waves cannot travel through liquids or gases. Because the earth's mantle becomes more rigid as its depth below the asthenosphere increases, S-waves travel faster as they go deeper in the mantle.

Areas near sea level enjoys moderate temperature whereas, areas situated far have higher temperature. Do you agree/disagree with the above mentioned statement? Justify your answer with two logical reasons..
Answer:
Yes , I agree
Explanation:
Areas near sea level enjoys moderate temperature whereas, areas situated far have higher temperature.
This is because;
1. Water have high heat capacity than the soil and this make it to take long time to heat up and cool which make areas near it have moderate temperature and transfer of cook air.
2. Air that is around areas near water will be much cooler from transfer of energy between water and air, while air that circulate above areas far from water will heat up much more quickly. Therefore, areas near water have more moderate temperature because water is nearby to regulate the temperature and keep it more constant.
