conic
good for mapping landmasses that have more west to east (North America) instead of north to south (South America)
greeks
were the first to believe the concept of a spherical Earth
halides
minerals that from when atoms of elements of fluorine, chlorine, iodine, or bromine combines with sodium, patassium, or calcium
rotating iron core
why the magnetic North Pole moves northwest at an average rate of 10km per year occurs
neutrons
neutral
false
a mineral's color is chaned by weathering its streak also changes
streak
the color of a mineral in powdered form

shows the Earth's latitude and longitude lines as straight, parallel lines
dimound
number 10 on the Moh's Hardness Scale
conic
the cone touches only one line of latitude and all the lines of longitude
mercator
shows the most distortion at the poles (Greenland)
wobble in earths rotation
why the geographic North Pole movs about 6m every 435 days occurs
