Question

If you were measuring the elevation of a mountain, you would be measuring variation in ________, whereas if you were doing the same on a midocean ridge, you would be measuring variation in ________.

1. bathymetery, isotacy
2. topography, isotacy
3. topography, bathymetry
4. bathymetry, topography

Answer 1

3. topography, bathymetry

Step-by-step explanation:

• In order to measure the elevation of the mountain system, the study of the bathymetry is essential for the study of the high altitudes.

• Whereas when measuring the deep mid-oceanic trenches the methods of the bathymetry is commonly used and the lake and the sea beds can thus be easily be measured.
