Answer:

A. 1600 m

B. 1240 m

C. 360 m

Explanation:

In a topographic map, the contour lines are used to determine elevations, and are made by connecting points of equal elevations. Index contour lines are generally darker and are marked with their elevations. Lighter contour lines don't have elevations, but can be determined counting up or down the nearest index contour line and multiplying by the contour interval, which tells the difference in altitude between contour lines. The contour interval is stated on every topographic map. In this case, the contour interval is 20m. So, to determine the altitude of point Y, we have to count 2 contour intervals from the Index contour line that shows altitude 1200, and multiply it by the contour interval:

2 * 20m = 40m

So, the difference in altitude from the Index contour line 1200 to Y is 40m. We can conclude that we have to add this elevation, because the next Index contour line is 1300, so the elevation at point Y is 1240m.

Point X is part of the Index contour line 1600, so its elevation is 1600m.

To get the difference between the 2 points, we simply subtract X - Y

So, 1600m - 1240m = 360m

When an occlusion occurs,

MArishka [77]

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: In an occluded front, the cold air overtakes or completely replaces the warm air in the atmosphere. It generally forms at the region where the atmospheric pressure is relatively low.

Due to the presence of an occluded front, the direction of wind and the temperature varies i.e the temperature could be high or low and the wind may be strong or weak. in addition to that there might be occurrence of a heavy rainfall as well as thunderstorms.

Thus the correct answer is option (1).

In the central portion of India called the

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The Deccan plateau is a topographically variegated region located south of the Gangetic plains -the portion lying between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal- and includes a substantial area to the north of the Satpura Range, which has popularly been regarded as the divide between northern India and the Deccan. The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, while its northern extremity is the Vindhya Range. The Deccan's average elevation is about 2,000 feet (600 m), sloping generally eastward; its principal rivers, the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, flow from the Western Ghats eastward to the Bay of Bengal. Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu is often regarded as the Southern gateway of Deccan plateau.
