Answer:

Reference maps show the location of geographic boundaries, physical features of Earth, or cultural features such as places, cities, and roads.

A political map is one that shows the political features of a given area. These features can include things like: countries, states, provinces, cities, towns, major highways and byways, and major water structures.

Physical maps show landforms, bodies of water and other important geographical features such as mountains, deserts and lowlands, but also lakes, rivers and oceans. Physical Maps of the World have to concentrate on the main features like continents, oceans and mountains.

Printed road maps commonly include an index of cities and other destinations found on the map; smaller-scale maps often include indexes of streets and other routes. These indexes give the location of the feature on the map via a grid reference.

Characteristics of topographic maps include:

they show elevation using contour lines. ...

they have an emphasis on showing human settlement (roads, cities, buildings etc), but may include some thematic information such as vegetation or the boundaries of national parks.

A time zone is ideally one of 24 spherical lunes (section on the globe in a north/south direction) with equal-width, each assigned with one of the 24 hours (one day). Each section observes a uniform standard time to keep track with the day and night cycle and also for legal, commercial, and social purposes.

Geologic maps display the arrangement of geologic features of a particular area. These features can include such things as types of rocks, faults, minerals, and groundwater.

Is the Five Pillars of Islam simliar to the Ten Commandments in the Bible?
castortr0y [4]

The Five Pillars of Islam are the bases of the Islam religion. Denying them intentionally will have any Muslim removed from the religion. The Ten Commandments are the basic rules that God gave His people to live by, but if broken or not followed you will be forgiven and not removed for your religion.

What human factor most contributed to the creation of the Dust Bowl?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Over-Plowing Contributes to the Dust Bowl or the 1930s. Each year, the process of farming begins with preparing the soil to be seeded. But for years, farmers had plowed the soil too fine, and they contributed to the creation of the Dust Bowl.

The Dust Bowl was caused by several economic and agricultural factors, including federal land policies, changes in regional weather, farm economics and other cultural factors. After the Civil War, a series of federal land acts coaxed pioneers westward by incentivizing farming in the Great Plains.

The Homestead Act of 1862, which provided settlers with 160 acres of public land, was followed by the Kinkaid Act of 1904 and the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909. These acts led to a massive influx of new and inexperienced farmers across the Great Plains.

Many of these late nineteenth and early twentieth century settlers lived by the superstition “rain follows the plow.” Emigrants, land speculators, politicians and even some scientists believed that homesteading and agriculture would permanently affect the climate of the semi-arid Great Plains region, making it more conducive to farming.
