Answer:

The A horizon will be relative large with a high content of sand.

Explanation:

A desert, as it is, is covered with very fine sediments in most cases, ranging from medium and small rocks to fine sand. If the climate conditions were to change where there is a desert and the climate became more temperate, the soil will change as well relatively quickly. What is actually now the surface of the deserts will become the new soil's A horizon while on top of it a 0 horizon will form.

The A horizon in a former desert will become very fertile and it will be able to support lush vegetation. This will be the case because it will have a very high content of sand, thus it will be very airy and soft. The newly formed O horizon made out of biomass on top of it will wash away to the A horizon, increasing its fertility further by adding a big amount of decomposed biomass to it.

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.
