By looking at a map, how can you tell where the profile will be the steepest in a topographic map?

The contour lines will be closest together.

Explanation:

When contour lines are closer together, the slope is steep. When contour lines are farther apart, the slope is gentle. This is because contour lines indicate altitude. The closer the contour lines, the faster the increase in altitude, and therefore the steeper the slope.

glacial erosion, the picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier, is also referred to as plucking. erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint block occur as a result of this glacial erosion. plucking is type of erosion in which rocks become frozen into the bottom and sides of the glacier.as the glacier moves downhill it 'plucks' the rocks frozen into the glacier from the ground.
