Using complete sentences, compare and contrast the characteristics of a metropolis and a megacity.

Answer:

A metropolis is a large, important city that serves as a center for business, culture, and government. A megacity is defined by having a population of over 10 million people. Both are large urban areas with significant economic activity and infrastructure, but a metropolis emphasizes cultural or economic dominance rather than a strict population threshold, while megacities focus specifically on size and may or may not hold the same global influence.
