A polar projection is called an equidistant projection. Equidistant projections show land and water in relation to a central point. Equidistant projections show distance and direction accurately. Size and shape become increasingly distorted as you move away from the center.

The Sahara Desert

animals, plants, and people have adapted to the Sahara

Desert. Most desert animals can go for long periods of time without water. They get water from the plants that they eat. Many of the small animals stay in their burrows during the day and search for food at night.

Some plant seeds lie in the ground until rain falls. Then the plants grow rapidly and complete the life cycle in six to eight weeks. Some plants have long roots to reach deep into the soil, and others take moisture from the air through their leaves.

The Sahara has a population of about two million people. Most of the Saharan people are nomads who tend herds of camels, cattle, goats, and sheep. They travel from oasis to oasis to use seasonably available water and pastures.

W ith a population of 8,175,133, New York City is the largest city

in the U.S. It is also one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. The city is divided into five boroughs. There are several small islands that are also part of the city. The two most famous are Liberty Island and Ellis Island. The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island, welcoming people to America. Historic Ellis Island was used as a port of entry for millions of immigrants until 1954.
