What are the lines of a topographic map called?
The lines on a topographic map are called contour lines. These lines represent points of equal elevation above or below a reference point, such as sea level. Contour lines help us visualize the shape and features of the land surface on a two-dimensional map.
What tells you the subject or type of map?
What is the constist if imaginary lines that help us determine location
What do latitude and longitude tell us?
The lines on a map or globe that go vertically and match with the lines of latitude to tell the exact pin points of a place.
What are the lines on a world isothermal map called?
An isotherm is a line along which the temperature is constant.An isothermal map is useful since it shows us where temperatures are similar and where they are different. This is the type of map that we think about when we think about temperatures across the United States from the nightly weather report or the back of USA Today.Found it here: http://www.ux1.eiu.edu/~jpstimac/1400/chapter3.html
What do the lines on a contour map tell us?
The numbers on contour lines show the different elevations. Lets say one contour line says it has 1450 elevation. That means it is on the highest peak. When you see other numbers, that is just the elevation

What information do lines of longitude on a map give us?
Condimation
Show you a map of all US fault lines?
wheres all the canadian fault lines
What are contour lines used for?
Contour lines enable us to see changes in elevation using an overhead map
What are lines of latitude A the equator B lines that go east or west around the globe or map C hemisphere?
The lines of latitude are lines that go east and west around the globe or map ,the equater us the line in the middle that separates north and south :)

How do you get the guy in front of dotted hole out of the way?
What dotted hole are you talking about if you tell us I may be able to help.
What do lines of longitude tell us on a map?
Lines of longitude tells us where we are in relation to the Prime Meridian, either to the west or east.For an exact position on Earth, both lines of latitude and longitude (in degrees plus minutes and seconds) are used.
What does topography tell us?
it is a shape of land, represented on a map by contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.
What does a gentle slope on a topographic map represent?
The US Geological Survey's topographic maps have "contour lines" showing elevation. The farther apart the contour lines are, the more gentle the terrain is; the closer together they are, the steeper the terrain is. The darker contour lines typically denote 100-foot elevation changes and are marked as such, while the lighter lines typically indicate 10 or 20-foot changes in between. The interval can easily be determined by counting the number of lighter contour lines between the darker lines. The steepness of the slope can be determined by using the map's scale (which is indicated at the bottom of the map) to measure the distance between two points and using the contour lines to see the change in elevation.
