Amercator projection map shows accurate

a. directions, but has distorted sizes and distances.

b. distances, sizes, and shapes, but has distortions around the edges.

c. size, but has distorted distances.

d. size and accuracy only at the center of the map.

in my opinion the answer is a. directions but has distorted sizes and distances

thats the answer

The correct answer is option A, directions, but has distorted sizes and distances.

Explanation:

A Mercator projection is a map projection in the form of cylindrical projection. In this the meridians are equally spaced vertical lines while the parallels of latitude represented by parallel horizontal lines are placed at far away distances. It is good for navigation as it helps to plot straight line course but is not suitable for world maps as the scale is distorted.

as resources become scarce because of population growth, the growth decreases after few years due to lack of resources and food.
