Answer:
1. The "contour interval' identifies the standard difference in elevation on a topography graph. It shows the difference in elevation of highest and lowest points on a topography map. In topographic map every fifth contour line is drawn, wider than the contour lines, called as contour index.
2. Geologist usually study all the materials that make up the earth. He can focus on different rock samples from earth's surface. the geologist works to understand history of the planet where we live on, to predict the future by explaining current occurrences.
3. The difference between the top of the plateau and the lowest point in the area of 250 m measurement is called elevation. Elevation is the highest point in the area.
4. Damage from earthquakes is determined by "Ritcher scale". Seismic waves are the vibrations occurs from earthquakes that can travel through the earth. These vibrations can be detected by the Ritcher scale.
