How do index contours let you know if the land you are viewing are increasing or decreasing?

Each index contour has an elevation associated with it. When you look at 2 contours, one will have a higher corresponding elevation. As you go from the lower elevation to the higher elevation, you know that the land is increasing in the direction toward the higher elevation. From the higher to the lower elevation, the land is decreasing (sloping downward, decreasing in elevation).

The glycemic index is used to measure how quickly ones blood sugar rises after eating food. The higher the food is in carbohydrates and or sugar, the more the index rises.
Differences between relative refractive index and absoulate refractive index?
Refractive Index(i) Refractive index of a medium is that characteristic which decides speed of light in it.(ii) It is a scalar, unit less and dimensionless quantity.(iii) Absolute refractive index :When light travels from vacuum to any transparent medium then refractive index of medium w.r.t. vacuum is called it's absolute refractive index i.e. vacuumµmedium = c/vAbsolute refractive indices for glass, water and diamond are respectively µg = 3/2 = 1.5, µw = 4/3 = 1.33 and µD = 12/5 = 2.4(iv) Relative refractive index :When light travels from medium (1) to medium (2) then refractive index of medium (2) w.r.t. medium (1) is called it's relative refractive index i.e. 1µ2 = µ2/µ1 = v1/v2 (where v1 and v2 are the speed of light in medium 1 and 2 respectively).(v) When we say refractive index we mean absolute refractive index.(vi) The minimum value of absolute refractive index is 1. For air it is very near to 1. ( 1.003)

How far apart would two successive index contours be on a map with a contour interval of 5 meters?
Two successive index contours on a map would be 5 meters apart. The interval is how far apart two contour lines are, so since the contour interval is 5 meters the answer is 5 meters.

How market capitalization affects stock exchange?
Market cap of a stock can affect a stock exchange by increasing the size of an index. Appreciating value of a stock's shares outstanding increasing not only increase the value of market cap, but contributes to the size of the index.
Why is it advisable to correct the measured refractive index for temperature?
The refractive index is a physical property of the medium that depends on the wavelength of the light, and the temperature. The temperature needs to be specified, and is usually 20 or 25 degree Celsius. The refractive index decreases with increasing temperature, and for most organic compounds one can correct for the temperature.
