For both continental and ocean-floor topography, gentler slopes are represented by widely spaced lines while steeper slopes are represented by closely spaced lines.
Explanation:
The contour lines are one of the main, and one of the most used methods on the maps for representing the topography. Basically, the contour lines are closed lines that connect dots on the same elevation. It may sound very simple, but they do provide good insight into the topography, especially if the reader of the map knows how to interpret them well.
The contour lines are used both for continental and ocean-floor topography. The rules are the same for both, including the representation of the slopes. When a slope is gentler, the contour lines are more widely spaced. When a slope is steeper, the contour lines are much more closely spaced.
Some elements of the contour lines or that go with them to give better representation are:
- black dots (representing a top)
- thicker lines (every fifth, so that the counting is faster and easier)
- small lines with given direction (representing cliffs or highly steep slopes)
- numbers (providing information about elevation)

The poles never get any direct sunlight.
They both get the same amount of sunlight.
- Because they receive no direct sunshine, the Arctic (North Pole) and Antarctic (South Pole) are both chilly.
- Even at the height of summer, the Sun is low on the horizon. The Sun doesn't rise at all for several months during the winter since it is so deep below the horizon hence poles don't have equal amounts of sunlight and darkness.
- The poles receive less energy and heat from the sun because of the tilt of the earth and its orbit around the sun. There are just two polar seasons as a result: summer and winter.
- The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Poles to experience around six months of day and six months of night.
- Due to this tilt, each Pole spends roughly six months angled both toward and away from the Sun. The North Pole experiences six months of nonstop daylight when it is inclined toward the Sun.
- In the winter, the Sun sets for extended periods of time since it is so deep below the horizon. Therefore, the days are chilly and dark, much like the nights. The South Pole and North Pole receive the same amount of sunshine despite being "polar opposites."

Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
According to the modern atomic theory, atoms are made-up of smaller subatomic particles in the nucleus. The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons. The protons have a positively electrical charge and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons have a negative electrical charge and are able to move around the nucleus. An atom usually contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. This makes the atom itself electrically neutral. The electrons exist at different energy levels, called shells, around the nucleus where they revolve freely in a constant motion.

I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.
