Whats the main difference between an Astroid and a Meteor?
Asteroids are bigger & Meteors are smaller
Asteroids are rocks & Meteors are ice balls
Asteroids are in space & Meteors are atmospheric
What is...
While asteroids are in space, meteors are atmospheric events.
Asteroids are large rocky bodies orbiting the Sun, primarily found between Mars and Jupiter. A meteor is the streak of light (or "shooting star") produced when a smaller space rock—a meteoroid—enters Earth’s atmosphere and burns up.

A topographic map shows contour lines spaced closely together on a hillside. This indicates?
Steep slope
Gentle slope
Flat terrain
Valley floor
What is...
Steep slope
Contour lines are lines on a topographic map connecting points of equal elevation, used to represent the 3D shape of the terrain in 2D, indicating slope, hills, and valleys. Key rules include: lines never cross or split, closer lines mean steeper slopes, and V-shapes indicate valleys or streams (pointing upstream).
