Question 15 1 pts Earth is a closed system with respect to water. O True False

Answer 1

The earth is a closed system and its water cycle depends on an equal number of inputs and outputs to function — which can include, but are not limited to, snowmelt (melted water flowing from glaciers and ice caps) and precipitation on one hand and evapotranspiration (water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil) and surface/subsurface storage of water in lakes or aquifers on the other. In general, more water is often stored in reservoirs — like the oceans — than moves through the water cycle. This is especially true during warmer climactic periods when, as a result, average global sea levels tend to rise. Colder climactic periods, on the other hand, are characterized by the formation of more ice caps and glaciers — which come to accumulate a significant portion of the Earth's water supply.

On a conformal projection, all local angles measured from a point are correct and all local shapes are true. You should use a conformal projection when the map's main purpose involves measuring angles, showing accurate local directions, or representing the shapes of features or contour lines.
