Exercise 2 solution (a) Closed rings rising from 300 to 330 towards the middle: a summit (a hill top), with the top a little above 330 m. (b) V shapes with the points aiming uphill (towards 120) and a stream along the middle: a valley. The stream confirms it, because water runs along the lowest ground. (c) V shapes with the points aiming downhill (towards 100) and no stream: a ridge, or a spur if it is a small tongue coming off a bigger hill. (d) Two sets of higher rings with a gap at 350 m between them: a saddle (col). It is the lowest point on the ridge joining the two tops, and often the easiest place to cross. Check for valley or ridge: look at which side the higher numbers lie and whether a stream is present.
