9 ESSAY 63. ANS: Mercator projections give an accurate view of land areas near the equator but distort areas near the poles. Interrupted projections show the correct size of landmasses, but the cutouts make it impossible to measure distance across the oceans. The Peters projection shows correct areas and distances but distorts the shapes of South America and Africa. The Robinson projection gives accurate sizes and shapes of landmasses and fairly accurate distances of oceans but distorts regions along the edges. DIF: Hard REF: 8 KEY: Geography, Map Projections 64. ANS: Possible response: People in a hot climate may choose to wear light, loose-fitting clothing. People living in mountainous areas have to carve farmland on mountainsides. DIF: Hard REF: KEY: Geography, Human-Environment Interaction 65. ANS: Nuclear families include a husband, a wife, and their children. Extended families include several generations of a family living in one household. An extended family may include grandparents, parents, children, aunts, uncles, and cousins. DIF: Medium REF: 14 KEY: Social Systems, Family 66. ANS: Answers will vary. Students should explain their choice, telling how it helps give them a sense of themselves and links them to others with similar tastes. DIF: Hard REF: KEY: Art and Literature, Identity 67. ANS: Possible responses: achieve political stability, diversify their economies, end economic dependence, improve medical care; debt crisis, population explosion, illiteracy, rapid urbanization, lack of technology. DIF: Hard REF: KEY: Continuity and Change, Developing Nations 68.

Nationalism caused the industrialized countries to compete for places to rule and markets. DIF: Hard REF: KEY: Continuity and Change, Industrial Revolution 69. ANS: Both revolutions rationalized production. The agricultural revolutions produced a crop that could be sold for cash. Factory production using machine tools made the production of cheaper, mass-produced goods available for trade possible. DIF: Hard REF: KEY: Continuity and Change, Industrial and Agricultural Revolution 3

10 70. ANS: Imperialism hurt these continents. Arbitrarily drawn borders brought people of different cultures into the same countries to compete for power.
