Answer:

I. The landforms such as valleys, volcanoes, hill, plateau, etc., in a geographical area or region.

II. The shape of the land.

Explanation:

In Geography, topography can be defined as the shape and structure of the Earth surface. Thus, a topographic map is used to graphically describe this features.

A topographic map can be defined as an accurate and detailed graphical (two-dimensional) description, representation or records of both natural and man-made (artificial) features on the surface of the Earth.

A topographic map is a two-dimensional model that uses contour lines to represent points of equal elevation above sea level such as mountains, hills, plains, valley etc.

The two-dimensional model of a topographic map graphically represents the height of a mount and the steepness of a slope through the use of contour lines.

Contours can be defined imaginary lines used for connecting locations that are having similar elevations on the Earth's surface.

Hence,a topography show two (2) main things and these includes;

I. The landforms such as valleys, volcanoes, hill, plateau, etc., in a geographical area or region.

II. The shape of the land.

What is the likely long-term consequence of an increase in the relative percent of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere?
kvv77 [185]

Correct answer: A). Earth’s average temperature will increase.

Green house gases are those gases, which are present in the air that have the ability to trap heat of the earth's surface. Gases like carbon dioxide and methane are  known to be found naturally play an important role in earth's climate. If they are not found the earth' s climate would be too cold creating problem for survival of life on the earth.

They absorb and emit the radiation in the thermal infrared range. These gases act like a blanket and save earth surface from infrared radiation by absorbing them and prevent them from escaping out of the earth surface.

But due to increased in the concentration of green house gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the environment due to pollution and deforestation is causing a great problem, which result in a global warming, which is a great concern for all the people on the planet. It will increase the annual global temperature which will result in the melting of glaciers. So, the issue of global warming should be taken seriously and adequate measure should be taken to control it.
