Which statement best compares the two waves?

• Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a longer wavelength than wave 2.

• Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a higher amplitude than wave 2.

• Wave 2 has more energy because it has a higher amplitude than wave 1.

• Wave 2 has more energy because it has a higher frequency than wave 1.

A topographic map provides details about Emory Peak in Big Bend National Park. A radio tower on Emory Peak is indicated.

Based on the topographic map, if a park ranger hiked due west from the radio tower, the ranger's path would--

• cross a canyon with a river running through it

• cross another peak in the park

• be flat and then go up a steep slope

• go down a steep slope and then become flatter

• 40 ft

• 50 ft

• 1040

• 1060

• 1079
