What is depicted by a profile according to FEMA 480?

Graph of annual rainfall
Elevations of various flood events
Population growth in flood zones
Cost analysis of flood damage

The correct answer is: Elevations of various flood events

A profile as described by FEMA 480 is a graph of elevations for various flood events, depicting how severe the flooding is at different stages. This graphical representation shows the intensity and magnitude of different flood events, making it the most accurate depiction of flood events. Option A, a graph of annual rainfall, does not specifically show the severity of flooding and may not accurately reflect flood events. Option C, population growth in flood zones, may provide information about potential risks, but it does not depict any actual flooding events. Option D, cost analysis of flood damage, may also provide some useful information but does not show a visual representation of flood events and their severity. The most appropriate answer for what is depicted by a profile, according to FEMA 480, is the elevations of various flood events.
