How do contour lines show elevation, slope, and relief?

Geography
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago

A contour line is a line of 'equal height': every point on a contour is the same height above sea level.

The closer any two contour lines are the steeper the hill is: and the further apart they are the move level the ground.

If a group of contour lines suddenly move to form a V shape then the hill either has a promontory sticking out from it or a valley in it.

Answer: The release of methane from thawed permafrost

Explanation:

With increasing global warming, permafrost in the arctic is melting. The  carbon and methyl clathrates present in permafrost escape into the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.

In the Arctic, molecules of methane are trapped in ice crystals as methyl clathrates. When the temperature increases, these crystals release  methyl clathrates which become methane when in contact with the atmosphere.

The cause of the increasing atmospheric CO{2} is due to the the thawing of dead organisms present in the permafrost. As the permafrost melts, these organisms decay and release  CO{2} into the atmosphere.

The United States buys much of its oil from OPEC countries. How would an increase in prices affect the daily lives of people in
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

The OPEC oil embargo was an event where the 12 countries that made up OPEC stopped selling oil to the United States. The embargo sent gas prices through the roof. Between 1973-1974, prices more than quadrupled. The embargo contributed to stagflation.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) then took over, ruling the oil markets and oil prices in the years that followed. However, with the discovery of shale oil in the U.S. and advances in drilling techniques, the U.S. has since re-emerged as a top energy producer.
