They can be represented by contour lines. A contour line is one which joins together all points at the same elevation. The lines are close together for a steep slope and spread out for gentle slopes. The spaces between contour lines can be coloured in with gradations of the same colour to emphasise the idea that it represents a gradient.
A topographic map shows the height of things.
the height of land
A map that shows the height of a mountain is called a topographic map or a relief map. These types of maps use contour lines to represent the elevation changes of the land and provide a visual representation of the mountain's height and terrain.
We call this "elevation".
land
The height of an object given a length of 50 inches.
Topography refers to the shape or height of the land. It includes features such as mountains, valleys, and plateaus.
Height on an atlas is typically shown through contour lines or shading to represent changes in elevation. These contour lines help visualize the shape of the land and the steepness of slopes. Additionally, there are usually key symbols that indicate different elevations on a map.
nothing
A map that uses color to represent land height is called a topographic map. These maps often employ color gradients or shaded relief to indicate elevation changes, helping to visualize the terrain's features. They can also include contour lines to provide additional detail about the landscape's elevation.
Elevation.
Elevation is the word that means the height of land above sea level.
