Topographic maps and satellite images

Explanation:

A topographic map represents earth's surface features like land forms and structures, rivers and lakes, mountains and hills, elevations and other natural features along with man-made artificial features like cities, buildings, monuments, roads, bridges etc. These are formed by contour lines.

Topographic maps are printed with revision dates to observe the changes happening on the Earth's surface. Various land forms keeps changing due to natural and man-made causes and these needs to be updated accordingly to provide accurate details.

A satellite image provides details of the earth aerially from space. These provides details of a land form or any earth structure currently.

By comparing with older satellite images or topographic maps with the current one, the changes which occurred over time can be observed.

5. Species with limited resources usually exhibit a(n) ________ growth curve

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Species with limited resources usually exhibit a logistic growth curve

Explanation:

In ecology, logistic growth refers to the phenomenon where the growth rate of a population decreases as the population reaches its carrying capacity (the number individuals that an environment can support without facing degradation). To put it simply, when a certain species has limited resources available to them, as they reach their carrying capacity, the population of that species will decrease due to death caused by lack of resources for consumption. The attachment shows what logistic growth looks like when plotted on a graph.
