<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.

List an example on Earth of the feature faulting creates.
NikAS [45]
Normal fault - a dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension and is often observed in the Western United States Basin and Range Province and along oceanic ridge systems.

thrust fault - a dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression, such as regions where one plate is being subducted under another as in Japan. When the dip angle is shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.

strike-slip fault - a fault on which the two blocks slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a right lateral fault.

Strike-slip Fault Animation

A left-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the left when viewed from either side.

A right-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the right when viewed from either side.
