Question
**Questions 45-47 refer to the topographic map** **Question 45:** What is the contour interval? - (A) 300 m - (B) 200 m - (C) 25 m - (D) 20 m **Question 46:** What is the elevation at A? - (A) 200 m - (B) 180 m - (C) 225 m - (D) 250 m **Question 47:** What feature might be shown where the contours bend towards the right between the western edge of the map and the top of the hill? - (A) a river incised into the hill - (B) a steep cliff - (C) a topographic high - (D) a ridge --- **Diagram Explanation:** The topographic map shows contour lines depicting elevations. The innermost line is labeled with an elevation of 300 m. The contours form a rough concentric pattern, indicating a hill. The diagram is oriented with the top of the map representing north. A scale is shown at the bottom, indicating distances up to 2 km. The letter 'A' marks a location on the south-west side of the hill, and point 'B' is closer to the hill's top. Contours on the western side curve sharply, suggesting a potential geographic feature such as a ridge or cliff.
