People's point of view can change to suit changes in historical context.

Allow me to add some explanation about historical context and how that works.

When the Panama Canal was built in the early 1900s, the historical and political context was one of imperialism. President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States used military pressure and warships to force Columbia to recognize Panama's independence, and then arranged with Panama to cede a strip of land to the United States (for $10 million) so that the US could build the canal and control the canal zone for commercial purposes.

By the late 20th century, the historical and political context was much different, and imperialistic control of overseas territories was no longer in vogue.  In 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which agreed to give over control of the canal to Panama by the end of the century, with transfer of control taking place on December 31, 1999. 

Part of the reason for willingness to make that transfer was that the Panama Canal had become expensive for the United States to maintain and operate -- so that part of the historical context plays in also.  Since Panama took over the canal, they have actually done very well financially with it.  You could check out a good book on the subject, <em>The Big Ditch,</em> by Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu, published by Princeton University Press in 2010.

What is the contour interval ??
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The contour interval is 15 meters.

Explanation:

A is not correct because if that was the case we would have had much more contour lines, and if the starting point is 15 meters then 5 contour intervals up would have been an elevation of 40 meters, not 90.

B is not correct because is that was the case we wouldn't have had a contour line of 15 meters, as all contour lines would have been tens, like 10, 20, 30, etc.

C is correct because the elevation distance between the contour line of 15 meters and one of 90 meters is 75 meters, and if we divided that by five (the number of contour lines from one to another marking) we get a value of 15 meters.

D is not correct because just as with the interval of 10, there wouldn't have been a contour line 15, but they would have been 20, 40, 60, etc.
