Scientist: Cross-sections of stalactites - calcite formations deposited on cave ceilings by seeping water - can reveal annual va

riations in rainfall in particular areas over hundreds and thousands of years. We often found that when - according to these cross-sections - drought occurred in a particular area, it coincided with the collapse of an ancient society in that area. I hypothesize that drought reduced agricultural productivity in these areas, thereby leaving these societies without the resources needed to handle internal stresses and external threats.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the support for the scientist's hypothesis?
(a) Many droughts indicated in the cross-sections of stalactites do not correspond with the collapse of a society in that area.
(b) Information from the cross-sections of stalactites alone cannot reveal the level of agricultural output in an area at a particular time.
(c) Most of the societies that collapsed during droughts did so when internal power struggles coincided with military raids from neighboring societies.
(d) Most of the societies that collapsed during droughts maintained large stockpiles of food and water at the time of their collapse.
(e) Information from stalactites also suggests that the collapse of some societies coincided with periods of abnormally high rainfall.

On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate
Aleks04 [339]

The correct answer is - c. a steeper slope.

When the contour lines on a topographic map are very close it means that there is a steeper slope. The contour lines are a very good, easy, and efficient way of depicting the relief; the closer the contour lines are, the steeper the place, the further away the contour lines are, the flatter the place. On certain places where the steepness is to big (usually a vertical fall) instead of using the standard contour lines, there are special ones that are like small stripes directed into the direction of fall, which is also very well represented and very helpful.
