The correct answer is - D. the rock cycle.

The rock cycle is a process that happens with the interaction between the crust and the mantle layers of the Earth. Where there's suduction zones and the crust from one tectonic plate goes below the other denser one, the crust gets into the mantle and is melted. On the other hand, where we have two tectonic plates moving away from each other the mantle lets material up to fill in the gap, thus creating a new crust. Also the mantle layer is responsible for the volcanic activities which are producing the igneous rocks from the lava, which are the rock type that is the basis for forming the other two types of rocks. This is an ongoing process for hundreds of millions of years.

What do v shaped contour lines indicate when they point downhill and when they point uphill
rjkz [21]

V shaped contour line pointing downhill indicate a ridge line, while the ones pointing uphill indicate a water flow.

Explanation:

The contour lines are one of the basic and most important elements on the maps. While in general they are associated with representing the elevation, they actually tell much more about the topography of a place. In a typical contour line, it is relatively common that the V shape occurs at particular places.

The V shape can be pointed downhill or uphill. The ones that point downhill are indicators of a ridge line, thus they show us the ridge more easily, so we can orientate better and have better representation of the area. The ones that point uphill, on the other hand, are indicators that there is a water flow, or there was a water flow. The rivers and streams with their erosive power manage to create such shapes in the relief, if viewed from above. The opening on the V is from where the water flows down.

Some of the types of contour lines are:

  • isopleths
  • isohyets
  • isobars
  • isobaths
  • isoterms
  • isonephs
