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.
Could contour lines on a map ever cross?
No because a contour line gets darrker and daarker when it goes from line to line.
What happens to a line when the slope gets bigger and bigger?
As m, in the equation y=mx+b, gets bigger the line begins to get steeper.
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line does what?
It gets steeper.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the gralh line gets?
Steeper
How do barrel waves form?
Here is a simple answer to how do barrels form? As a wave gets closer to land the water gets more shallow causing the wave to start getting steeper. As it approaches the reef or whatever causes it to break, the wave starts getting steeper and taller. As this happens the wave starts to peak, causing the lip of the wave to be pulled down to the bottom wave by gravity. When something gets too tall gravity pulls it down; making a barrel.

What equation has a steeper line?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
What happens when latitude increases north or south of the equator?
The lines of latitude will get shorter.The climate gets colder.
How much effort is needed if the length of the inclined plane is shorter?
As an inclined plane gets shorter, the angle gets steeper and the effort becomes greater.
How do topographic maps show elevation?
Elevation is determined on a contour map by means of the elevation interval. The distance between each line is equal in distance. Adding the intervals together will determine the total elevation.
