Would it always be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that are curved?
It would be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that were widely spaced as this represents a shallow gradient / slope.
How must contour lines bend on a topographic map to indicate a stream valley?
it would bend towards the point of origin or where it starts.
What does a contour line measure?
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
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.
How Do Topographic Maps Differ From Relief Maps?
On a topographic map, elevation is represented by countour lines, which is two lines that connect without intersecting. Relief is also shown by contour lines but also with a variety of other methods, such as shades and colors.
What is the contour?
the difference in elevation represented by each contour line on a topographic map
Would a field represented by a contour map be likely to change with time?
i dont no
What symbol represents a mountain range?
Mountains are represented as triangles on map
How are river valleys represented on a topographic map?
Usually by contour lines, with the river shown in blue.
What does a closed empty circle on a contour map mean?
It indicates a low area such as a valley.
What does topography tell us?
it is a shape of land, represented on a map by contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.
Would it always be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that are curved?
It would be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that were widely spaced as this represents a shallow gradient / slope.
What name is given to a statistical graph where a quantity is represented by a curve and has the same value everywhere along the curve?
Contour Map
what map types portrays terrain features in a measurable way as well the horizontal positions of the features represented?
Topographic Map
What do the lines on a topographical map mean?
The lines that connect points having the same elevation are a kind of isopleth called contour lines, or contours.The closer that the lines are on the map the steeper the terrain is.
How must a contour line bend on a topographic map to indicate a stream valley?
it would bend towards the point of origin or where it starts.
