Question

map. elevations are shown in meters
in which section of the map is the highest elevation located?
a) northwest
b) northeast
c) southwest
d) southeast

Explanation:

Contour lines represent elevation. The higher the elevation, the higher the contour line value. In the northwest section (where Eagle Mt. is), the contour lines have higher values compared to other sections. For example, point B is at 100 meters and the contour lines around that area (northwest) are higher than those in the northeast (where Bird Creek and its surroundings are), southwest (Wolf Pond area), and southeast (Crow Mt. area which has a 100 - meter contour but is not as high as the northwest).

Answer:

A. northwest
