What is the best definition of what a contour line is?
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
What is a contour on a topographic map?
A contour is a line that joins points of equal elevation.
What is the purpose of contour line on topographic map?
Contour lines show elevation.
What is the contour?
the difference in elevation represented by each contour line on a topographic map
What color is a contour line on a map?
Contour lines on a map are typically brown or black in color. They indicate elevation changes on the map.
What was the first contour line?
The first contour line was created by Charles Hutton in 1771. He used contour lines to map a coal mine.
On a topographic map the difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is the?
contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line on the map. This interval is typically consistent across the map and can vary based on the scale of the map and the type of terrain being represented.
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 is the relationship between the relief of an area and the contour interval on a map of the area?
The Relationship between the relief of an area and the contour interval on a map of the area is A contour line
What does a contour line measure?
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
What line on a map connects the points of equal elevation?
Contour lines or also known as isohypses, connect points of equal elevation on a map. Contour lines can be curved, straight or a mixture of both. The lines on a map describe the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes.
