Questions: Match the cartographical terms with the correct descriptions. Contour Interval Elevation Relief Index Contour Shows the surface features of Earth. Connect the points of equal elevation on a map The difference between the highest and lowest elevations in a given area Tells you how steep the change in elevation is Is the height of an object above sea level A tool used on a map in which the fifth contour line is darker than the other four lines on either side of it

To match the cartographical terms with the correct descriptions, let's analyze each term and description:

1. Contour Interval: This term refers to the difference in elevation between consecutive contour lines on a map. It tells you how steep the change in elevation is. Therefore, the correct description is: "Tells you how steep the change in elevation is."

2. Elevation: This term is the height of an object above sea level. Thus, the correct description is: "Is the height of an object above sea level."

3. Relief: This term describes the difference between the highest and lowest elevations in a given area. Therefore, the correct description is: "The difference between the highest and lowest elevations in a given area."

4. Index Contour: This term refers to a tool used on a map where every fifth contour line is darker than the other four lines on either side of it, making it easier to read the map. Thus, the correct description is: "A tool used on a map in which the fifth contour line is darker than the other four lines on either side of it."

Summary:

• Contour Interval: Tells you how steep the change in elevation is.
• Elevation: Is the height of an object above sea level.
• Relief: The difference between the highest and lowest elevations in a given area.
• Index Contour: A tool used on a map in which the fifth contour line is darker than the other four lines on either side of it.
