Engineers use a topographic map for every project they are going to build. Topographic maps show altitudes of ground surfaces and also show specific formations, such as mountains. By using a topographic map an engineer can decide the best location for a bridge or building.

∙ 12y agoIn the field a geologist will use a topographic map to locate his/her position and then mark on the map the interfaces of the rock types that are found. From this a Geological map can be made and by using the intersection of the geology with the contours on the topographic map the Geologist can infer the geological structure of the strata beneath the ground.

How do topographic maps represents the earth's surface?
Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface because they show elevation in addition to distance and direction.
What types of map shows elevations and contours?

What maps are similar to topographic maps?

How do geologist use topographical maps?

How do businesses governments use topographic maps?
Businesses use topographic maps (maps showing the surface features of an area)to help decide where to build new stores, housing, or factories. also the government uses a topographic map to find out where to build new schools and other public buildings.
How do business and government use topographic maps?
Businesses use topographic maps for site selection, resource planning, and infrastructure development. Governments use topographic maps for urban planning, disaster management, and environmental conservation. Both sectors rely on these maps to make informed decisions based on accurate geographical data.

Which of the maps show the three dimensions of earths surface?
Topographic map
What are some GOOD facts about topographic maps?
topographic maps have contour lines that show a specific place...
How would topographic maps of urban areas differ from topographic maps of suburban and rural areas?
i dont learn
What types of maps show elevation of mountains?
Topographic maps display elevation of mountains through contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation. They provide a detailed representation of the terrain, including mountain peaks and valleys. Digital elevation models (DEM) are also used to create 3D visualizations of mountainous regions.
Why do geologists use topographic maps as base maps?
Because a topograpic map is a map that shows surface features, or topography of an area.
How are topographic maps made?
They used to make maps by hand, but they do it by machines now.
