Answer to Question 1

Answer: wetlands, organic soils, water bodies, or crop health

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A conic projection is a transfer from a globe tangent to Earth; the cone is then unrolled to make a map. A planar projection is a transfer from a globe to a plane. A conic projection is proper for a map that emphasizes middle latitude areas with great east-west extents (e.g. North America), while a planar projection can be used to view one side of Earth at once, centered on an area of interest (e.g., the North Pole).

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
