What else can I help you with?
What represents a steep slope on a map?
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
How can you determine whether the contour on a tropographic map show a gradual slope?
You can tell if a landform has a steep or gentle slope by looking at it. If the hill is small, it is not steep. A steep slope would be at more of an incline.
What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
What does plateau mean when you are using a map?
a medium elevation of a steep slope
What is indicated when contour lines are far apart on a topographic map?
When contour lines are far apart on a topographic map, it indicates a gentle slope or flat terrain. The spacing between contour lines represents the steepness of the terrain, with wider spacing indicating a more gradual slope.
On topographical map how do represent a steep slope?
Contour lines that are closely spaced
A topographic map indicates that a mountain's slope is very steep by using?
contour lines that are very close together
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
Two contour lines that are close together show a steep slope?
Yes, two contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope on a topographic map. The closer the lines are, the steeper the slope. Further apart lines show a gentler slope.
A what is shown in a darker thicker line and is labeled with the elevation a map?
A darker, thicker line on an elevation map typically represents a contour line, which connects points of equal elevation. These lines help illustrate the terrain's shape and slope, indicating how steep or flat an area is. The elevation value marked along these lines provides specific height information above sea level, aiding in understanding the landscape's topography.
Where do hikers find contour maps most useful?
Areas with variable topography (i.e. hills, cliffs, valleys). In places with swift elevation changes or even just hills. These kinds of conditions are shown on the map by the contour lines. When the lines are close together the topography is steep when the lines are further apart the topography is not steep.
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.
