(Krakatau | Volcano World | Oregon State University)

Explanation:

The island of Krakatau is located in Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. It is part of the Indonesian Island Arc. Volcanic activity is due to subduction of the Indo-Australian tectonic plate as it moves northward toward mainland Asia. The Krakatoa island is found to be about 3 miles wide and 5.5 miles long (9 by 5 kilometers). As at the time of this eruption in 1883, the region was part of the Dutch East Indies; it’s now part of Indonesia. Location: Krakatoa, Anak Krakatau Island, Pulau, South Lampung Regency, Lampung, Indonesia, Asia.

In August 1883, the eruption of Krakatoa, (or Krakatau), was one of the most deadly volcanic eruptions of modern history ever recorded. It is estimated that more than 36,000 people died. The deaths recorded were as a result of the thermal injury from the blasts. Also, the victims were of the tsunamis that followed the fall of the volcano into the caldera below sea level. The temperatures dropped all over the world and the climate was affected because the eruption was so terrible.

Answers

I think that the best answer from the options is the following one:
B. lightly regulated markets depressing wages for unskilled workers

The thing is, unskilled workers cannot really pose many demands for their pay, because they can be replaced by other workers. This is what has led to low wages of the unskilled workers, while increasing the wealth of the richest, who own the production means.

What type projection is used by ship navigators? and why?

Answers

The Mercator Projection, invented in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. They used this because of it can chart the navigator's course on the Mercator Projection with a straight line. It also had a unique design and "idea."

Mercator and Lambert projections are commonly used by (Ship) navigators and aircraft pilots and navigators, supplemented by GPs and other electronic aids. the Lambert system produces a compact circular (sectional) chart easily slipped into instrument housings like bomb sights, drift meters, etc, it is graduated in azimuth, hence making targeting of landmarks easy. in soe models the operators make adustemnts to keep the target destination in the center of the cross hairs- this is on a map, not the actual ground. the projection is as similar as possible so when the Bombardier takes the sights- the image will be familiar i just know that much about this topic
I hope it helped you :-)
