How can you find the direction a stream flows on a topographic map?
A contour map shows lines which connect areas equal in height. These lines are called contours and should be labelled to show the height that each contour represents. A stream flows downhill, this is due to gravity. Thus, to determine which way a stream flows, find contours, at least two, that intersect the path of the stream, then look at the heights these contours represents(their labels). The stream will flow from the contour labelled with the higher number towards the contour labelled with the lower number. PS. sometimes not all the contours are numbered, but only say every fith contour is numbered, then you can assume that all contours are equally incremented i.e. the height difference from one contour to the next stays equal.
What is isotachs contours?
These are lines of equal wind speed. They are most often contoured in the upper levels of the atmosphere, especially at the jet stream level. They are important for locating the jet stream and jet streaks within a jet stream
When did The Contours end?
The Contours ended in 1968.
When was The Contours created?
The Contours was created in 1959.
Stream like movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water at tor near the surface of the ocean are called currents. A current's direction and strength is influenced by depth contours, shoreline configurations and interaction with other currents.
What are stream-like movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean called?
Stream like movements of water at tor near the surface of the ocean are called currents. A current's direction and strength is influenced by depth contours, shoreline configurations and interaction with other currents.
How do you use contours in a sentence?
The lines on a topographical map show the contours of the land.
What types of map shows elevations and contours?
A topographic map would show elevations and contours.
How can contour lines intersect?
Contours can intersect if you have an overhang. If there is a vertical drop, the contours will touch but not cross one another.
How can index contours be identified?
Index contours can be identified by every 5th contour line and also because its darker and heavier

How are the contours of the water table different from normal contour lines?
The contours of the water table lines are the same as the contours of other topographical lines. The only indication of water tables might be elevation lines but they are not unique to water tables.
