kotegsom [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Cirques often contain small lakes called </em><u><em>tarn</em></u><em>. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cirque is a depression or a valley-like formation developed from the erosion of the glacier. They are formed in the mountain ranges. The slopes are steep and melted ice flows down to the floor.

The floor of a cirque is a bowl-shaped structure. The ice from all the sides from melting glaciers fill in the floor. When the glacier melts and slides the sides of the cirque, the floor converts into a lake. This small lake is called a tarn.

with the virtuality all of earth's land now allocated to states, how might the number of states might increase in the future???
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

  • fragmenting states
  • artificial landmasses

Explanation:

There are several ways a new state could form even if all of Earth's land was allocated to current nations. One of the possibilities is that a current state fragments to form two (or more) smaller states.

Another possibility is that nations construct artificial landmasses or habitable platforms in the oceans that are independent countries. Finally, in the future it may be possible to settle the continent of Antarctic if the Antarctic Treaty is ever not renewed.

Which kind of map uses contour lines to show elevation?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

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.
