<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.

What are the five different types of parent material?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment, and may be composed of geological detritus (minerals) or biological detritus (organic matter). The geological detritus originated from weathering and erosion of existing rocks, or from the solidification of molten lava blobs erupted by volcanoes. The geological detritus is transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice or mass movement, which are called agents of denudation. Biological detritus was formed by bodies and parts (mainly shells) of dead aquatic organisms, as well as their fecal mass, suspended in water and slowly piling up on the floor of water bodies (marine snow). Sedimentation may also occur as dissolved minerals precipitate from water solution.

What is the dominant pressure system influencing baghdad's annual precipitation pattern?
LuckyWell [14K]
Dry climates have unreliable year-to year precipitation and have a moisture deficit - potential evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation.  These climates dominate large portions of the subtropics and extend into the interiors of continents in the middle latitudes and cover nearly one-third of Earth’s lands surface.
