Answer:
1. bisect - divide into two parts
2. encompass - spread over a large area
3. contour - outline of a structure
4. temperate - moderate climate
Explanation:
I have been able to match each word with its meaning in the passage.
Bisect actually means to divide something into two parts. From the word "bi" which means "two", we are able to deduce that it is dividing into two parts.
Encompass means to surround, spread or enclose over a large area.
Contour is an outline of a structure. It shows the irregular or curving figure of a structure.
Temperate refers to a moderate climate. It means that the climate doesn't go to the extreme.
