How far apart would two successive index contours be on a map with a contour interval of 5 meters?

Two successive index contours on a map would be 5 meters apart. The interval is how far apart two contour lines are, so since the contour interval is 5 meters the answer is 5 meters.

If the contour interval is 10 meters then what is the change in elevation of each intermediate contour line represent?
10 meters
If the contour interval on a topographic map is 50 meters how much difference in elevation do 12 contour lines represent?
you just have to do 50*12 and that equals 600!
How are contour lines drawn on maps?
Contour lines connect points of equal height, and show grades of hills, the closer together the lines the steeper the grade. The map legend should tell you the difference in elevation between lines, this could be in feet or meters
How much dirt is in a hole that is 4 meters long 2 meters wide and 1 meters deep?

What does a contour interval of 20 meters mean?
A contour interval shows a change in elevation on a topographical map. If the contour interval is 20 then the elevation change between two contour lines is 20 meters
Which contour interval would be better on a topographic map of a mountainous area 5 meters or 30 meters?
It depends on the scale of the map. If it is a trecking map then 5 m, but for driving maps or similar, 30m contours would be fine.
If the contour interval is 10 meters then what is the change in elevation of each intermediate contour line represent?
10 meters
Specially drawn contour lines used to represent a round number of feet or meters?
Index contours

What information does a map's contour interval provide?
Most likely you says about contour interval. It's the difference in height between two sequential contour lines. For example, if the contour interval is 50 meters and some contour line corresponds 2000m above sea level, the next contour uphill was at 2050m then 2100m etc. Different maps use different intervals. It depends on map scale and terrain type (for mountain areas intervals are higher than for plains). The contour interval is shown on the map collar (typically near the scale).
What are the factors effecting contour intervals?
If the contour interval is not given, find two reference (labeled) contour lines and find the number of lines between them, excluding the reference lines themselves. Then the interval can be found using the following formula: |(Difference between elevation of reference lines)| /(Number of contour lines between reference lines +1) = Contour interval For example, if you find two reference lines labeled 150m and 250m and there is one contour line between them, then |150m-250m|/(1+1)=100m/2=50m The contour interval of that map is 50 meters.
Why is there a difference between NZ contour lines and Australian contour lines?
Maps can be created with differing scales. These days, it's childishly simple for the cartographer to change any scale on any parameter before printing. It's possible one of your maps is 10 meters/interval while the other is 5 Or, if one of your maps was printed before SI was made standard, it might be 'Imperial' Or, if one of your maps was published in US First things to check on any map; Date, scale, orientation, contour interval
What meters can the Ascensia Contour Test Strips be used with?
Ascensia contour test strips can be used with the next generation of Bayer Contour glucose meters which are used by people with diabetes to test their blood sugar levels.
What are the two land elevation on a map measurements called?
The two measurements that show land elevation on a map are feet above sea level and meters above sea level. The map itself has contour lines in order to distinguish elevations.
