<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.

Order these events from oldest (1) to most recent (4). Dense melted material sank to form the core. Earth’s gravity captured gas

BigorU [14]

<h3><u>Answer</u>: </h3>

The events put into order of their occurrence are as below:

Dust, rock, and ice were pulled together by gravity

Dense melted material sank to form the core

Less dense material cooled, hardened, and formed the crust

Earth's gravity captured gases to form the first atmosphere

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Through the process of runaway accretion, the dust particles, rock, ice, and debris were pulled together owing to the inward whirling action of these materials.

The heavy and dense material automatically sank to the center and formed the core.

Due to the cooling of the surface layer by the rains that poured for millions of years, the material at the top hardened and formed the crust.

Finally, the gravitational power of the completely formed Earth captured and held down the gases.

This eventually formed an envelope of gases around the Earth known as atmosphere.
