<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 question did Yali ask Diamond that sparked Diamond’s research? What did Yali’s question mean?
skad [1K]

Answer:

Yali´s question: "Why you white man have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?"

Explanation:

This question from Yali, a Papua New Guinean political leader, led Diamond to develop his research published as Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997).

The question refers to the word cargo as New Guineans use it, meaning the goods brought by Westerners, which were considered as proof of the white man’s strength.

Yali’s question is actually about the roots of inequality.
