How is the area labded Ash Creek Bute smilar to a plateau?
The area indicated by the blue a row is a stream In which direction does this stream fiow?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The land form indicated by the red arrow is known to have a steep elevation because the contours are very close together.

The map type here is a topographic map which uses a series of contour lines to show the land form patterns in an area. We can clearly those curly and wiggly lines and they are the contour lines.

When contour lines are very close together as shown in MT Shasta, it shows that elevation is rapidly changing. This is common feature of mountainous regions. It is not a blase but a factual representation of how the land form pattern is.

Areas where the contours are far apart have a gentle slope and can be dubbed a plain.

Question 2:

A plateau simply is a table land. It is a land mass having a flat top where the elevation is nearly the same but marked by acute and steep sided edges.

We see how the contours spreads out over the Ash Creek Butte area. That's the flat top. The sides shows contour clusters and denotes steep sides.

The river will flow in a South-ward direction. Rivers do not flow up slope but predominantly down slope where the contours are more spaced.
