<u>Answer:</u>

If the "contour interval" of a "topographic map" is 25 feet, and every fifth line is an index contour, the "difference in elevation" between index contours would be "125 feet".

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A contour interval is defined as the fixed distance between any two contour lines plotted on the topography of a region.
  • An index contour is a darker contour line drawn after every four contours for the convenience of reading the elevations.
  • If the "contour interval" is fixed at 25 feet, the distance between two index contours would naturally be 125 feet.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

d. Some magma generated during seafloor spreading spills out to produce a new layer of seafloor called gabbro.

Explanation:

  • The magma is spilled from the mid-oceanic ridges and spreads onto the seafloor creating a newer seafloor.
  • This is why it's called as the divergent boundary due to the spreading of magma on both sides of the floor. Grabbo is a coarse-grained mafic intrusive igneous rock and is formed at the oceanic ridges.
