One reason that rock layers are not horizontal are because of erosion and it also depends we’re you find the rock layer
V shaped contour line pointing downhill indicate a ridge line, while the ones pointing uphill indicate a water flow.
Explanation:
The contour lines are one of the basic and most important elements on the maps. While in general they are associated with representing the elevation, they actually tell much more about the topography of a place. In a typical contour line, it is relatively common that the V shape occurs at particular places.
The V shape can be pointed downhill or uphill. The ones that point downhill are indicators of a ridge line, thus they show us the ridge more easily, so we can orientate better and have better representation of the area. The ones that point uphill, on the other hand, are indicators that there is a water flow, or there was a water flow. The rivers and streams with their erosive power manage to create such shapes in the relief, if viewed from above. The opening on the V is from where the water flows down.
Some of the types of contour lines are:
- isopleths
- isohyets
- isobars
- isobaths
- isoterms
- isonephs

To reduce or prevent the detrimental effects of flood waters
The correct answer is - Greenhouse effect.
The Greenhouse effect is a process in which certain type of gasses in the lower atmosphere manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the planet.
The gases that are considered to be greenhouse gases are able to perform such a thing, despite being relatively low in amount compared to other gases, because they have much more complex molecular structure.
The molecular structure of this gases enables them to trap the heat, or rather to not allow to leave the atmosphere and return it back toward the surface, thus having huge effect on the climate.
Greenhouse gases are the carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide.
