Question

Help???

Answer 1

Geology/Earth Sciences go in Geography, not Social Science.

With a CI of 10 feet, every line is an altitude increase of 10 feet. So answering a lot of those questions can be done just knowing that.

If there is a 10 foot height change between two lines, the closer the lines are together, the faster the change.

The three images at the very bottom of this page may help:

Answer 2

(For the first question) so like 10,20,30,40?? etc..

Answer 3

The leves go up by that.

So in this, a is between 0 and 10, b is between 10 and 20, c is between 20 and 30, and d is more than 30, but less than 40. The exact value of each would depend on how steep the slope is at a given point, so can not be pinned down exactly.

Answer 4

And you can @ tag me in geography if you ask geology questions there.

Answer 5

ok also the numbers.. do they go with the letters? Cause im confused if the numbers suppose to equal the letters or not.

Answer 6

In my example, I did numbers for elevation.

In your assignment, they did both letters and numbers as locations.

Answer 7

Can you help me understand i'm still confused about this.

Answer 8

Here is a look from the side:

Not that where the slope is gentle, goes up slowly, where it crosses the height lines are far apart. Where it goes up quickly, a step slope, they are close together. This is how a topo map relates to the slope of a hill.

If you are more specific in what you don't get, I can talk about that or show you references.
