Why topographic maps are so important?
They show elevation and slope.
This part of a sand dune is characterized by a pronounced slope?
The gentle slope is in the upwind direction. The downwind direction has a steep slope called a slip face.
A measure of the change in elevation over a certain distance?
This would be the slope or the gradient.
What type of map provides information on elevation relief and slope of the ground?
"topographical"
What three factors determine the rate at which rock weathers?
Bioligical factors, slope, and elevation.
How close the contour lines are is an indication of an area's?
elevation
What type of map will help you read elevation?
A contour map, shows lines of equal elevation which look like tree rings all over the map, and is used to show elevation as well as slope and gradient information. The closer the lines are together, the steeper the terrain is in relative terms.
What is the name of a geological ridge characterized by a gentle slope facing a steep slope?
Cuesta
What are types of information about the ground surface that are provided by topographic maps?
the three types are, Elevation, Relief, and Slope.
Why topographic maps are so important?
They show elevation and slope.
What kind of slope does close contour lines on a topographic map show?
elevation. the closer the lines the steeper the slope.
How do contour lines show elevation and slope and relief?
The same as Meteorologic Wind maps, the closer the lines of Gradients are spaced to each other, the greater are the represented Gradients, be they wind or slope or elevation.
This part of a sand dune is characterized by a pronounced slope?
The gentle slope is in the upwind direction. The downwind direction has a steep slope called a slip face.
What does plateau mean when you are using a map?
a medium elevation of a steep slope
Do closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope or a gradual slope?
Steep slope. Each line is a different elevation. The distance between them is an indication of how fast the elevation is changing. If they are close together it means a small horizontal movement will result in a greater vertical change that when they lines are far apart - where you would have to travel a greater horizontal distance to move across the same number of contour lines (to get the same elevation change).
What is the difference between steep and gradual slope?
steep slope is when the crust forms a t a high and narrow elevation, and a gradual slope is when the crust forms slowly.
A truck 3500kg if drive up a slope that is 0.5km at the top of the slope your 200m higher in elevation what is the force has your engine exerted to drove up the slope?
14000N
