In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness of slopes.-hope that helped:)

Weight is influenced by which of the following

nignag [31]

Out of the given options, weight is influenced by mass and gravity

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The object's mass is defined as the quantity of a matter with which the object is formed. It can change its state of matter but the quantity will remain the same. However, the weight is defined as how much force gravity exerts on the object's mass to pull it.

The mass is always same irrespective the location but the weight may vary from one place to the other while talking for the bigger picture. For example, the object's weight may be 60 kg on Earth but when it is measured on the moon, it will be lesser.

The weight of an object generally has nothing doing with the volume and it doesn't depend solely on the gravitational pull. The mass plays a crucial role.

$W=F=m \times g$
