Question

14 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. which point is located on the steepest slope? f b c d

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between contour lines and slope

Contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope. Contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope.

Step2: Analyze the contour lines around each point

• For point \(F\): The contour lines around \(F\) are relatively far apart.
• For point \(B\): The contour lines around \(B\) are not the closest.
• For point \(C\): The contour lines around \(C\) are the closest among all the points.
• For point \(D\): The contour lines around \(D\) are not as close as those around \(C\).

Answer:

C.
