Question

10 multiple choice 2 points base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the contour map of an island below and on your knowledge of earth science. points a through g represent locations on the island. elevations are in meters. what is the contour interval for this map? 10 m 15 m 20 m 25 m

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the contour line with elevation

The contour line with elevation \(100\) is visible.

Step2: Count the number of contour lines between two known - elevation points (assume a simple case of adjacent lines)

Let's assume we consider the basic rule of contour interval calculation. If we assume that the contour interval is calculated based on the difference in elevation between adjacent contour lines. Since there is no other specific elevation data given except the \(100\) - marked contour line, but in standard contour - map reading, if we assume that the interval is such that if we consider the general pattern (and if we assume that there are 5 contour lines between \(0\) (implied at the ocean level, as it's near the Atlantic Ocean) and \(100\)), the contour interval \(CI=\frac{100}{5} = 20\) (assuming a simple linear increase from the ocean level which is at or near \(0\) elevation).

Answer:

20 m
