Answer:

The contour lines are the third dimension, showing the elevation of an area

Explanation:

Topographic maps are those that shows the topography of a particular area, type of relief and the location of hills and plains. They are provided with the north direction and the index that helps in a better understanding of the maps. They are commonly used by geologists and geographers.

The third dimension of the map i.e the height of the surface features is shown in terms of contour lines. Contour lines are the lines of equal elevations. They are shown by a number that depicts the height at that point from the mean sea level. The high mountains, valleys, and basins are easily identified from these maps.

An object or any location can be represented on a two-dimensional surface like a paper or computer screen. This representation is known as map. Most maps do not take into account the elevation of the object or the location they representing. On the other hand, Topographic maps use contour lines to represent the third dimension and to show elevation change on or below the surface of the earth.

<h3>What is food?</h3>

The substance that we intake for the body to charge up by giving nutrients is called the food.

Wheat is a staple food. We make chapati from flour obtained from the wheat grains.

The various contributions involved till the chapati is made is given below.

                 Take required amount of atta in a container

                                                     ↓

                    Add water accordingly to form a dough

                                                     ↓

                 Apply oil to make dough smooth for long time

                                                    ↓

        Take small dough, make it a ball shaped and apply dry flour

                                                    ↓

               Roll it using rolling pin on the chapati maker plate

                                                    ↓

      After making it circular or any shape you want, place it on hot tawa

                                                    ↓

                               Bake it on both the sides

                                                   ↓

Force (f) = ?

Acceleration (a) = 196 m/s^2

Mass (m) = 0.25 kg

F = (m) • (a)

F = (0.25) • (196)

F = 49 N

Answer : 49 N

I hope that helps you!! Any more questions??

You leave on a 450 miles trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 hours after you begin your trip. Along the way y
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

c. 2.6 h

Explanation:

The longest time spent over dinner is the time that you have available minus the minimum possible time spent in the trip.

The time of the trip is found using:

t = \frac{d}{v}

Where distance is d and velocity is v. The time will be minimum at maximum velocity. Replacing with the data we have:

Ttrip = \frac{450}{55} = 8.1818 h

Tdinner = 10.8h - 8.1818 h = 2.6181h

that aproximates 2.6 h.
