Explanation:

Step1: Identify contour lines

Count the number of contour - intervals between Bass Lake and Gem Lake.

Step2: Calculate elevation difference

The contour interval is 10 feet. There is 1 contour - interval between Bass Lake and Gem Lake. So the elevation difference is 10 feet. Gem Lake is at a higher elevation. So Gem Lake is 10 - 4=6 feet higher than Bass Lake (assuming some reference for the 4 - foot offset from the contour lines).

Answer:

6 feet higher
