Topography and Plate Tectonics Test Where would the stream flow fastest?
Between 1 and 2
Between 2 and 3
Between 3 and 4
Between 4 and 5

The stream will flow fastest between 2 and 3.

Explanation:

On this map, we can see two basic elements, one being the contour lines, and the other being the color with which a stream is presented. The contour lines are giving us a good representation of the relief and where it is steeper and where it is less steep. Basically, where the contour lines are closer to each other, we have a steeper relief, and when the contour lines are further away, the relief is less steep.

The water moves under the influence of gravity, so downward. Where the steepness is the greatest, the gravity influences it the most, so it moves faster, while where the steepness is smaller, the gravity influences it less, so it moves slower. On this map, the contour lines are closest to each other between points 2 and 3, meaning it is the steepest part of the relief, and it is the place where the stream flows the fastest.

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
