Answer:

The maximum height of the mountain can be 2099 meters.

Explanation:

The contour lines are closed lines that connect dots with the same elevation. They are a very practical and useful cartographic method for presenting the relief in a very plastic manner which is easy for the reader of the map. The contour lines though are set as a particular distance from each other, a vertical distance that is, known as contour interval, and it depends on the type of map and its size.

Everything between the contour interval is marked with a black dot and possibly a number representing its elevation. In a situation where the contour interval is 100 meters, the variation can be anywhere from 1 to 99 meters of a height between two contour lines. By having the last contour line with an elevation of 2000 meters, the maximum potential height can be 2099 meters (thus 99 meters plus), ss this is the maximum difference between two neighboring contour lines.

Describe the relationship between the level of service and the price of a hotel room?
dexar [7]

Answer:

The role of pricing on customer satisfaction has been largely ignored, however hospitality services are, for the most part produced by humans, and consequently, no two guest stays will be precisely alike.

However researches have been carried out suggesting that the variability in performance across different consumption experiences leads to increased uncertainty, and thus to decreased reliance on prior expectations, in such situation consumers tend to use price as a cue of performance expectations. Which makes it difficult to know customer satisfaction.

Meaning the relationship between the level of service and the price of hotel room is uncertain because know two human is alike.

Explanation:

Iceland is known as the Land of Fire.  The country is present in the plate boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Being on the top of the Ring of Fire, it has active volcanoes. Hexagonal basalt columns formed from a volcanic eruption. Basalt columns are the result of a cooling process that changes the appearance of the lava. Basalt is a volcanic rock rich in iron and magnesium created from the heated magma that emerges as lava during an eruption.

Benefit of the concept of environmental possibilism on humanity ?<br>​
NeX [460]

Explanation:

Possibilism is a theory arising from geography, which defines nature as a non-determining factor for the evolution of societies, that is, despite the fact that nature provides certain resources or difficulties for societies, possibilism believes that man can modify the environment environment to develop.

Therefore, a benefit of the concept of possibilism for humanity, is that this concept opens greater possibilities for man to survive in the already existing conditions of nature and modify it for his well-being, that is, man is able to adapt the conditions from the environment to the social benefit, through techniques, knowledge and technologies, which will promote the social, cultural and economic development of a given location.
