What are the lines that show the height or decrease of physical features, on a topography map?
Contour Lines.

Where is the core of the Earth?
The very center of the Earth.
200
What are the three laws of Geologic Record?
Superposition, Crosscutting, Inclusion
200
How are volcanoes formed?
By two tectonic plates converging.
300
What is the second wave of an earthquake called?
The secondary wave.
300
What is a contour interval?
The elevation from one contour line to another.
300
What happens to the heat and pressure the closer you get to the core?
They both increase
300
What is superposition
It is the law when the layer above one another is younger than the layer below it.
