Contour lines connect places on the map with the same height. Their spacing gives a measure of the steepness of a slope.

Is joning lines in a weather map that have the same temperature called isobars?
An isotherm is a type of contour line or surface on a map that connects points of equal temperature.An isobar refers to a line drawn through all points of equal atmospheric pressure along a given reference surface.
Isotherms are lines that connect points of equal?
Isogone is also known as isogonal line. It is the imaginary line on a map that connects all points of equal magnetic declination.
Is Contour plowing also known as no-till plowing?
NOT AT ALL. no-till plowing is when you leave it unturned. contour is when you plow it in the shape of the land. "No-till plowing" is an oxymoron, since any form of plowing is a form of tillage.
When deciding between contour plowing and terracing what might a farmer consider?
That really all depends on where that farmer lives, what terrain he/she has to farm off, and the costs of contour plowing versus terracing. Some areas are not suitable for crop farming no matter what the options are, so the answer to that could be neither contour plowing nor terracing.
Maps that show water land formations and natural features are called?
I think its contour map, donno for sure though
What is the line on the map that connects all the points having the same elevation?
contour line
What do all the points connected by a contour line have in common?
elevation & the unit is in feet
How do you call the points in a line?
All points on the same line are colinear but if you mean what are the points all called collectively - they represent a "locus of points".
How can we represent the height of land?
They can be represented by contour lines. A contour line is one which joins together all points at the same elevation. The lines are close together for a steep slope and spread out for gentle slopes. The spaces between contour lines can be coloured in with gradations of the same colour to emphasise the idea that it represents a gradient.
What are the characteristics of contour?
One of the characteristics of contour is that the variation of the vertical distance between any of the two contour lines are usually assumed to be uniform. The other characteristic is that all the points on a contour line are of the same elevation.
What is the definition of a contour line?
- Contour lines never cross. All lines on a contour line represent one elevation.- The spacing of contour lines depends on slope characteristics. Contour lines that are close together show a steep slope. Contour lines that are far apart show a gentle slope.- Contour lines that cross a valley or a stream are V shaped. The C points toward the area of the highest elevation. If a stream or river flows through the valley, the V points upstream.-The tops of the hills, mountains, and depressions are shown by closed circles. Depressions are marked with short, straight lines inside the circle that point down slope to the depression.
What are All points on a number line that represent the solution to an inequality?
solution set
What are the contour line rules?
- Contour lines never cross. All lines on a contour line represent one elevation.- The spacing of contour lines depends on slope characteristics. Contour lines that are close together show a steep slope. Contour lines that are far apart show a gentle slope.- Contour lines that cross a valley or a stream are V shaped.

If a stream or river flows through the valley, the V points upstream.-The tops of the hills, mountains, and depressions are shown by closed circles. Depressions are marked with short, straight lines inside the circle that point down slope to the depression.
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
What does the line represent when you graph a linear equation?
It is the locus of all points whose coordinates satisfy the equation of the line.
Why isnt the highest point on a hill or a mountain represented by a contour line?
The highest elevation point is represented by a number...number of feet above sea level. At the very top, there is a point/peak. In order to make sense, a contour line has to represent a relative elevation all the way around the circumference of the mountain. The lines are not circles and where they are wavy, this indicates places where the mountain juts out.
On a toptgraphic map contour lines that from a circle indicate?
All of the points along the line are the same elevation. The answer he wants is for novanet..meaning this answer is irrelevant Dx
