You want to determine if one peak is steeper than another peak, based on a topographic map. What would you see on the steeper pe
victus00 [196]
Contour lines determine the steepness of the land by how close they are together. Generally, contour lines rise to a particular scale (e.g. a line for every ten metres), therefore, if the contour lines are closer together then the height of that particular area has risen more steeply than if the contour lines are further apart where the steepness has increased more gradually.

The Ghana Empire increased greatly in size and wealth between 700 A.D. And 1100 A.D. How was the empire able to grow so powerful
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: D

Explanation: The Ghana Empire, properly known as Wagadou (as Ghana was the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area occupied by present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Although complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region for centuries, the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that eventually became the Ghana Empire.

The Ghana Empire grew rich from increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. With these commodities being transported and traded through Ghana, the Kingdom was able to become very wealthy by taxing the goods that came through the trade center. It also helped that Ghana had many trade routes that were well protected by its large military force as this encouraged other merchants to come to Ghana for trade.
