A topographic map. Two thick red lines go through areas with index contour lines with numbers 450 and 500. A thin black line with hashes goes through areas with index contour lines with number 450. Which value is a good estimate of the railroad’s average elevation?

450
480
500
550

Can you give us more information about this question and i will try to you as much as i can

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.
