What are 3 observations you have about the differences between the Mercator projection and the Peters projection?
Answer:
`1. Both projections cause a distortion of the map. While the Mercator projection makes place (especially the North) appear bigger on the map and distorts their size and shape close to the pole, the Peters projection causes an elongation horizontally close to the poles and vertically near the equator.
2. The Mercator projection does not allow the observer get a true understanding of the size of the continents. The Peters projection offers a better indication of the sizes of the continents.
3. The Mercator projection is more widely used than the Peters projection. The directional bearing indicators in the from of straight lines makes the Mercator projection map a useful guide in navigation, unlike the Peters projection.
Explanation:
The Mercator's projection map was designed by Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It is widely used by many online platforms that provide direction guides.
The Peters projection was formed by Dr. Arno Peters and presented for use in 1974. It has similarities with a previous map created by James Gall in the 19th century. Both maps have their benefits as well as their flaws some of which have been indicated above.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,6) and has a
slope of 1/3?
Answer:
Explanation:
y-y = m(x - x)
I couldn't tell if the point was negative, so I'll do both
Positive Negative
(6,6) m= 1/3 -(6,6) m= 1/3
y-6 = 1/3(x - 6) y+6 = 1/3(x +6)
y-6 = 1/3x - 2 y+6 = 1/3x + 2
y = 1/3x +4 y = 1/3x - 4

The formation of minerals from substances dissolved in water is called
a. precipitation
b. dissolution of solutes
c. universal solvent
Answer: b. dissolution of solutes
Explanation:
Water contains different particles in it depending on where the water came from as these particles dissolved into the water as the water passed through.
There is a limit to how much particles can be dissolved in water though much like when you put too much sugar into water and at some point the sugar just settles at the bottom.
This is the same with those solutes in water. After a point where the water can no longer dissolve them, they come together and create minerals that are seen when the water evaporates.

The etymology of the word ‘preamble' explains that it comes from Old French and Latin words that mean ‘going before,' that is, ‘preceding'. Explain briefly how today's usage of ‘preamble' demonstrates the meaning of ‘going before.'
Answer:
A preamble is an introductory, usually ceremonial, part of the text of a written document (deeds, statutes or legal regulations, such as laws and constitutions), which sets out the intention, meaning or purpose of the following text after the preamble.
The preambles are usually contained in the constitutions of states. They contain both a historical part, which refers to previous state institutions and justifies the current state existence, and a part that contains the basic values and principles of the state and the general definition of fundamental rights and obligations of citizens. For legislation, the binding nature of the preambles is questionable, but it can always serve as an interpretative tool.

What process causes canyons like the Grand Canyon in Arizona or the Palo Duro Canyon in Texas to form?
Huge landslides bring mud and rocks to the bottom of a canyon then the wind blows it through creating the bottom of the canyon.
Rivers flowing over a long period of time cut out the bottom of the canyon and wind erodes the sides of the canyon.
Repeated earthquakes in the same area push up the sides of the canyon and the river erodes the bottom of the canyon.
Tornadoes blow through the same area for many years carving out the bottom of the canyon and wearing down the sides.
Answer:
Your answer is... Rivers flowing over a long period of time cut out the bottom of the canyon and wind erodes the sides of the canyon.

Which country of Sub-Saharan Africa has the most TV's per 1,000 people
Answer:
70 Sectors found for “North Africa is diverse. It is a myth that all North Africans have the typical Mediterranean look. It is the people you mostly see on TV and in movies. Many North Africans can only be classified as North African Blacks. You rarely see them on TV or in the movies. They mainly live in the southern regions or as isolated communities, even in the north or the center of North African countries. Genetically, the e1b1b haplogroup is shared by people in North Africa, in the Sahara and in Africa south of the Sahara. The palest Kabyles, the darkest Somali, the blackest Maasai and the “yellowish” San further south in Southern Africa carry the e1b1b hg. The Sahara desert does not divide Africa genetically or phenotypically. The differences between North Africa and Africa south of the Sahara are related to history and culture. The history of North Africa is intertwined inseparably with European history (Roman Empire, the Greek Empire etc.), Persian history, Arab history and the history of the Ottoman Empire. North Africa belongs to the Mediterranean world, northern coastal regions particularly (the food is typically Mediterrenean food). North Africa belongs to the Arab World. Arab culture is very strong and dominant. There is also a major influence of the Turkish culture.”
