<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> </span></span>
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.
There are now many small soay sheep in Scotland because the winters are not as brutally cold as they use to be. The climate in Scotland has been warming therefore the sheeps of small stature can easily survive now in Scotland, which was not possible in earlier years.
