3 0

Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation.

Topographic maps, often called "topo maps,"  feature contour lines to portray the shape and elevation of the land.

Contour lines (lines of equal elevation) that are close together indicate steep terrain, while lines that are far apart indicate flat terrain.

Such maps also usually portray both  natural and artificial features. They show and name natural land formations such as mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, rivers and vegetation. They also identify particular man made features such as roads, boundaries, transmission lines and major buildings.

What happens to tempreture under water as you get deeper into the ocean
dimulka [17.4K]
As you get deeper into the ocean, the temperature of the water starts dropping and so the water gets colder.Cold water always have a higher density than warmer water. In case of the oceans the cold and salty water settles at the bottom due to higher density and the warmer water rises to the surface. Although the temperature of the water rises by negligible amount from contact with the earth's surface, but it is so negligible that it does not warm the water enough. The sunlight on the other hand beats down on the surface water of the ocean to make it a little more warm.

<u>Northern Hemisphere is the name to the top part of the Equator, one that goes on the north from it. </u>Earth is divided by the imaginary lined in the middle, and that line is called the Equator. The Northern Hemisphere includes the whole of North America and Europe, the bigger part of Asia, and some parts of Africa and South America.

It is much more populated than the southern hemisphere of the world, especially since countries with huge populations are on it (China, India, US). <u>Most of the counties in the Northern Hemisphere have a colder climate than countries in the Southern Hemisphere.</u> The most upper part of it, Artics, has a really cold climate, and both winters and summers are cold and snowy.
