Figure 8.29 shows a contour map of a hill with two paths, $A$ and $B$ (a) On which path, $A$ or $B$, will you have to climb more steeply? (b) On which path, $A$ or $B$, will you probably have a better view of the surrounding countryside? (Assume trees do not block your view.) (c) Alongside which path is there more likely to be a stream? (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)

Figure 12.67 shows a contour map of a hill with two paths, $A$ and $B$ (a) On which path, $A$ or $B$, will you have to climb more steeply? (b) On which path, $A$ or $B$, will you probably have a better view of the surrounding countryside? (Assume trees do not block your view.) (c) Alongside which path is there more likely to be a stream? (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
Refer to Figure $12.11,$ which shows contours of a hilly region with heights given in metres. At which of the points $A$ or $B$ is the landscape steeper? How do you know?
