It would be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that were widely spaced as this represents a shallow gradient / slope.

Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
Which would be more likely to show a shallow 1.5-meter-deep depression in the ground a meter contour interval or a five meter contour interval?
A one meter contour interval would be more likely to show a shallow1.5-meter-deep depression in the ground than a five meter contour interval, because itshows more frequent changes in elevation.
Why are latitudes and longitudes always expressed in angles?
1). They are both intervals on the curved surface of a sphere, so units of linear measurement would not do the job. 2). In the case of longitude, all longitudes merge (come together) at the north and south poles. So the distance represented by 1 degree of longitude is not the same distance everywhere. It depends on your latitude.
How on a topographic map how would you show a island in the ocean with an elevation of 80 feet if the contour interval is 10 feet?
You would just add 10 every contour line you pass until you get to the number 80.
Would a topographic map of the Great Plains have a large or small contour interval Explain?
It would have a very large interval, as the further contour lines are apart, the flatter the terrain, and the great plaines are very flat so..

Would a field represented by a contour map be likely to change with time?
i dont no
Which geologic feature would most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another?
a flat area, such as a feild.
Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?

What is an antonym for contour?
The word contour does not exactly have an antonym, however, it you use contoured, the antonym would be flat.
Why contour line never crosses another contour line?
Each contour line represents a different elevation. If they touched at any point, that would mean that point would have 2 different elevations at once, which doesn't make any sense. They can get really close if there is a steep drop, but they never touch. +++ They can never cross but they converge as the represented ground steepens, so they touch in appearance on paper when representing a vertical face of height at least equal to the difference between two consecutive lines.
How do you find the contour interval on the map?
Notice the pattern around that contour line. Then determine the interval that the surrounding contour lines are increasing or decreasing by. Ex. 50 100 150 200, the contour interval would then be 50
Why isn't a anarchy not a way to live?
Because the strongest would always eventually gain power whether they represented the people or not.
What faces does a cone have?

How would you use the words 'contour line' in a sentence?
The road followed the contour line around the mountain. The contour line was smooth and created good air flow over the wing.
Why are satellite antennas curved?
Sattellite antennas are curved because they will get a better signal or the television would be buffering
I am 5'11 would I want a straight or curved shaft gas trimmer?
Straight, curved are hard on your back.
