Rank from the lowest to highest elevation

From lowest to highest,

D= 40 m

C= 200 m

B= 400 m

A= 600 m

E= 1000 m

Explanation:

The given question is based on the topographic maps. These maps are comprised of contour lines that show the lines of equal elevations. Each of the contours is separated from one another by a fixed amount of height. The given image is comprised of index contours, which are dark red in color and very prominent.

in the given image, the index contours are marked at an interval of 200 meters and the small individual contours are marked at an interval of 40 meters.

From the map, it can be determined that-

Location A is at a height of 600 meters above sea level.

Location B is at a height of 400 meters above the mean sea level.

Location C is at a height of 200 meters from the mean sea level.

Location D is at a height of 40 meters from the sea level.

Location E is at a height of 1000 meters from the mean sea level.

Thus, the rank of these locations are arranged from the lowest to the highest at the above.

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
