The contour lines on a map are very close together. Would the slope be closer to: A. 15% B. 50% C. 90% Why is your answer correct?
C. 90% because lines that are close together on a map indicate steep terrain and as a percentage 90% is the only number that relates to really steep terrain.
400
What is the equation for slope?
Maximum Elevation - Minimum Elevation divided by horizontal distance traveled
500

Pacific Ocean

How do grasslands differ from forests?
Grasslands have few or no trees
500
What is the reason for having different types of map projections?
Any map of the world will distort the earth's surface so having different types of map projections means that the projections all have pros and cons and as well as situations they are most useful for (Anything similar is fine.)
