What feature on a map or globe can you find the difference between two places?
Scale
What are types of information about the ground surface that are provided by topographic maps?
the three types are, Elevation, Relief, and Slope.
What kind of map that uses shading and elevation lines?
That would be a topographical map. It uses contour lines (usually 100 or 50 ft. incraments) to show elevation above or below sea level. They're usually black & white and can be found wherever you can find maps.
How is elevation shown in a map?
Topographic graphs use many different means of showing elevation, the most common being contour lines in which elevation is shown by lines drawn on the map indicating specific heights. Another common way to show elevation is through color, with a specific color indicating a specific elevation and gradations of color indicating steepness. Relief shading can also be used to indicate elevation, in which a constant light source is imagined to be shining on a three-dimensional representation of the surface represented by the map and the resulting shadows shaded in to indicate elevation. This gives the map a three-dimensional look although the map itself is flat.
What are some sentence examples using the word topographic map in a sentence?
I used the topographic map to find the elevation of Mountain Ararat which is in Armenia.
How do you use topograph map?
Well, "we scientists" use topographic maps to find out the elevation and etcetera of a place.
What type of map would mountain climbers find most useful?
Probably a topographic or contour map, which would contain information about the mountain's elevation (height).

Why does a topographic map have a key?
the key explains what the colors and shapes on the map represent. It also has a scale so you can accurately find the distance between objects.
What feature on a map or globe can you find the difference between two places?
Scale
How can you find altitudes of locations?
The USGS (the US Geological Survey) prints topographic sheets for every area in the United States. You will find the elevations marked by a number for the highest elevation and by contour lines for the other elevated portions.
What is the difference between a topography map and a relief map?
in topographic maps we find local areas in relief map we find things like mountain valley etc, well, the answer above is wrong the difference between the two is that a topography map has lines on it to show elevation and releif maps have colors to show elevation.
What is the elevation of a particular location?
The elevation of any geographic location is the height of that location above sea level. This can be measured using sonic machinery rather than by hand and it is otherwise called the altitude of somewhere.
How do you scientists use topographic maps?
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.
What are types of information about the ground surface that are provided by topographic maps?
the three types are, Elevation, Relief, and Slope.
Sentence with elevation?
Find the elevation and latitude/longitude of any address.
