What are the main topographic map rules?
contour lines can never cross. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the land gets. If you move from one line to another, the elevation becomes different.
Can contour lines on a map split?
no thwy cant because there is never a elevation of zero
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
Why contour line never cross?
Contour line's measure elevation, there cannot be a space with two different elevations at the same time. For example, a hill can be 1,000 feet tall at the summit but not also 5 ft at its summit (unless you're in some parallel dimension). So no, they never cross.
Can a super heated quasar escape a black hole?
Material in a quasar is ejected away from the black hole, but that material never crosses the event horizon. Nothing that crosses the event horizon can ever escape.
Why contour line never crosses another contour line?
Each contour line represents a different elevation. If they touched at any point, that would mean that point would have 2 different elevations at once, which doesn't make any sense. They can get really close if there is a steep drop, but they never touch. +++ They can never cross but they converge as the represented ground steepens, so they touch in appearance on paper when representing a vertical face of height at least equal to the difference between two consecutive lines.
Why can't two contour lines overlap?
One contour can not cross another because a contour is one exact elevation; if it crossed another contour it would show that it is higher than the second contour on one side, but lower on the other side.
What are the main topographic map rules?
contour lines can never cross. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the land gets. If you move from one line to another, the elevation becomes different.
What are two things that contour lines cannot do?
Contour lines can never touch each other, and they can never just stop, they have tonot go off the page or connect.
Which game do you never get a sixth turn?
Noughts and crosses
What do contour lines never do?
They don't eat french fries like I do!
What is the imaginary line called that hyperbola never crosses?
The Asymptote
Why is it unlikely that two contour lines will cross?
Contour lines never cross because the elevations can't be two different numbers in one spot.
Why can't contour lines cross merge or split?
Contour lines are imaginary lines that join points of equal height. Therefore, say, a 300 metre height contour line can never meet a 400 metre height one.
Can contour lines on a map split?
no thwy cant because there is never a elevation of zero
Why don't 2 contour line never cross each other?
because the world would explode
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
