The correct answers are:

1. a. True.

The contour lines are one of the most important methods for showing the relief on the maps. They are connecting dots that are on the same elevation, and they are closed areas. With this method, the observer of the map gets a very nice picture of the landscape that is presented, presuming the observer understand the contour lines.

2. b. False.

The height of an object above sea level is the elevation of the object. The level of the sea is taken as a zero height, and usually with the method of triangulation, or by using satellites, the elevation of a certain object is determined.

Describe how global patterns of atmospheric movement affect local weather. Be sure to include the concepts of air pressure, wind
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: Global wind patterns affect how air masses move. Prevailing westerlies are the major wind belts in the continental United States. The prevailing westerlies generally push air masses from west to east. For example, continental polar masses from central Canada enter the United States between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes. These cold, dry air masses are blown east and affect the weather in the central and eastern part of the United States.

Recrystallization definition earth science
lukranit [14]

Recrystallization is the process through which the preexisting crystals are destroyed, and later the material left of them crystallizes all over again and forms new crystal structures. Basically this process happens when a crystal structure is exposed to high temperatures and pressures, When that happens, the crystal structure falls apart, often being melted. After it is melted, the material will eventually start to cool off again. As it cools off, new crystals will start to form. What type of crystals will form will depend on the rate of cooling off, but also on the agent that destroyed the initial crystals, as it can mix with the material, gradually giving birth to a new crystal structure.
