On a topographic map, the farther apart the contour lines, the steeper the slope of the mountain or hill represented
Katyanochek1 [597]
False. Contour lines indicate different levels of elevation. One line might indicate an elevation of 100 feet, and the line next to it an elevation of 200 feet, and so on. When those lines are close together it means that the elevation is rising very quickly from 100 feet to 200 feet, which means a steeper slope. When those lines are farther apart, it means that there's a lot more space between the 100-foot elevation and the 200-foot elevation, which means a more gentle slope.

Answer:

Answer are written below:

Explanation:

1) It is very important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations because you have to planned out everything in order to find a method or a way to work through the study.

2)  Understanding our past is important to our future because studying history enables us to understand the world better and the past gives us courage and protects us from harm.

3) It would be more challenging to be a prehistoric archaeologist as compared to historical archaeologist because historic archaeology is easier to study due to the presence in written form whereas  Prehistoric archaeology is very difficult to study due to no written records are present.

4) I will work as an academic archaeologist as compared to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist because academic archaeologists are active researchers in their field which also published their work in the books, journals, and popular publications.
