<span>True. Contour lines are found on maps to determine equal elevation of connecting points. When a person walks along contour lines he neither gains nor loses elevation.

False. Relief does not refer to the height of an object above sea level. Mean Sea level determines the height of an object above sea level. <span>

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.

Overview: Choose two categories of natural resources (i.e., plants, animals, soil, minerals, air, water, or energy sources). The

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Natural resources are those things which are found on the Earth without human exertion and they are of two kinds which are as per the following:

Renewable natural resources :

It is a sort of natural resource which can be utilized over and over and they are not going to end sometime in the not so distant future, for instance, wind, sunlight based vitality, water, plants, etc.

Non-renewable natural resource :

It is a sort of natural resources which are present in very limited quantity and it will end on someday, for example, Coal, petroleum, minerals, etc.

2. Human beings are mostly depended on natural resources and it makes their life easy and comfortable. Let's see its usages one by one.

Historical: Historically, we depended on the renewable natural resources, for example, plants, animals, water and our life started and ended with this form of natural resources when we were not technically advanced.

Present: Presently, we are more technologically advanced and using various technologies to lead our life and we are using fossil fuels at a greater extent and within 30 to 50 years this non-renewable source is going to end and we need to choose our alternative ways also.

Future potential: The way non-renewable natural resources are declining by our present use, we need to switch to renewable sources which are long lasting as well as eco-friendly and that's why the renewable natural sources would be in more demand in near future.

3. These two categories are inter-related because they both provide the energy requirements of the present time, as well as non-renewable natural resources, are formed by the help of renewable sources since the long geological process.

4. we are vastly using now-renewable sources like petroleum, coal and renewable natural sources like solar energy, wind for our need for energy requirements
