What does the spacing between contour lines tell you?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
What does the spacing between contour lines tell?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
What do closely spaced contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
Why do you think gentle slopes are shown with more widely spaced lines than steeps slopes are?
Contour lines on a on a topographic map indicate elevations. Since elevation changes gently on gentle slopes the contour lines are further apart. Elevation changes rapidly on a steep slope so the contour lines are closer together.
Contour lines on a map indicate?
Contour lines on a map indicate elevation. They connect points of equal elevation, showing the shape and steepness of the terrain. Closer contour lines indicate steep slopes, while spaced-out lines represent flatter areas.
How would a topographic map help plan hiking routes that can be easy for new hikers?
A topographic map shows elevations, and large differences in elevation close together indicate steep slopes, which hikers may want to avoid. A path with the smallest differences in elevation will usually be a flatter, more easily-walked path.
What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
What does Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic indicate?
Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.
What are precipitous slopes?
Slopes that are dangerously high and/or steep.
Why do some stairs have steep slopes?
Usually, stairs are built with steep slopes only if there isn't enough room to build them with milder slopes.
Contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Usually the altitude above sea level. Close lines indicate a steep slope while spread out lines show flatter terrain.
