What is used on a topographic map to show elevation?
relief contour lines blue lines an opencircle
How is a relief geographical map different from a political world 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 maps use colors and shading to show elevation and altitude?
I believe it is a topography map... NO, Relief Map
How do contour lines show elevation and slope and relief?
The same as Meteorologic Wind maps, the closer the lines of Gradients are spaced to each other, the greater are the represented Gradients, be they wind or slope or elevation.
What are types of information about the ground surface that are provided by topographic maps?
the three types are, Elevation, Relief, and Slope.
What do elevation maps use to show elevation?
Maps can show elevation with contour lines
What symbols on a topographic map show elevation relief and slope?
contour lines
What does a historical map show?
Relief Maps are a type of physical map that show changes in elevation ,GS
What is a relif map?
A Relief map is a Physical map that uses shading to show differences in elevation.

Does a elevation profile show a side view of a place of area?
No, it does not. That statement is false.

Which map is better for showing the height of a mountain above sea level an elevation map or a relief map?
Both will show the elevation. But a relief map, with its colouring and hatching may be easier for a novice to read. I prefer to view contour lines on a less cluttered map.
How do contour lines show elevation and slope and relief?
The same as Meteorologic Wind maps, the closer the lines of Gradients are spaced to each other, the greater are the represented Gradients, be they wind or slope or elevation.
What is the contour like on a map where the relief is low?
Contours show the elevation above sea level. The steeper the slope the closer the contour lines. Therefore, on a low elevation the contours will be far apart.
