questions. 1. Which show valleys? 2. Which show spurs? 3. Which slope is steeper: \( \mathrm{K}-\mathrm{L} \) or \( \mathrm{M}-\mathrm{N} \) ? Give a reason for your answer. 4. What is the altitude of K ? 5. What is the approximate altitude of N ?

Hello! It looks like you're referring to specific features or points (K, L, M, N) that are likely part of a diagram or map. To accurately answer your questions, I would need to see the diagram or have more detailed information about the terrain and the positions of these points. However, I can provide general information about the terms you've used, which might help you analyze the diagram yourself: 1. **Valleys:** - **Definition:** Valleys are elongated depressions between hills or mountains, typically with a river or stream flowing through them. - **Identification:** On a topographical map, valleys are usually indicated by V-shaped or U-shaped contour lines that point upstream (toward higher elevation). 2. **Spurs:** - **Definition:** Spurs are lateral ridges that extend outward from the sides of a mountain or hill. - **Identification:** On a topographical map, spurs appear as lines of contour that extend from a higher elevation area and curve back toward lower elevations, often forming a semicircular shape. 3. **Determining Slope Steepness (K-L vs. M-N):** - **Contour Interval:** The steepness of a slope can be assessed by the spacing of contour lines. Closer contour lines indicate a steeper slope, while wider spacing suggests a gentler slope. - **Comparison:** Without the specific map, I can't determine which slope (K-L or M-N) is steeper. Examine the contour lines between points K and L and between M and N—whichever pair has closer lines has the steeper slope. 4. **Altitude of K:** - **Determination:** The altitude of point K would be indicated by the specific contour line it lies on. Look for the labeled contour line or a marker that specifies its elevation. 5. **Approximate Altitude of N:** - **Estimation:** Similar to point K, the altitude of point N can be estimated by identifying the nearest contour lines and estimating its position relative to them. If exact numbers aren't provided, use the known contour intervals to approximate. **If you can provide the diagram or more details about the terrain and the positions of points K, L, M, and N, I'd be happy to give more specific answers!**
