Answer:

Antarctic desert (aka Antartica)

Explanation:

The Antarctic Desert is the largest desert on Earth, measuring a total of 13.8 million square kilometers. Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and most isolated continent on Earth, and is considered a desert because its annual precipitation can be less than 51 mm in the interior. It’s covered by a permanent ice sheet that contains 90% of the Earth’s fresh water. Only 2% of the continent isn’t covered by ice, and this land is strictly along the coasts, where all the life that is associated with the land mass (such as  penguins, seals and various species of birds) reside. The other 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice which averages 1.6 km in thickness.

Answer:

The correct answer is - the direction of the points of the V shapes on contour lines.

The contour lines can tell us a lot about the shape of the relief structures on the maps, and of the things that we can also see is the path of the rivers. When the rivers are running through a steeper part, practically their upstream, because they manage to cut and shape the relief structures around them, the contour lines take up a specific V shape. The points of the V are always on the river itself, and they point to the direction from where it is coming from, thus following the points of the V shape can bring us very easily to the upstream of the river.
