Can a scale be used to find the elevation of a feature on a topographic map?
yes.
What can you find on almost every map?
Compas, title of map, scale, legend
What does a contour line measure?
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
How elevation is shown on a topographic map?
Through several individual enclosed circles, each circle showing a different elevation, each topographical map with a different scale. The smaller the circle, the higher it is compared to other elevations around it. Your Face!
What is the elevation of Mount Ranier?
Mount Rainier's elevation is 4,393 meters.
What's the difference between hills and mountains?
Their scale and elevation.

Why are elevations vertically exaggerated on a cross sectional map?
Elevations are vertically exaggerated on cross-sectional maps to better represent the differences in elevation and topography within the given area. It helps to visually emphasize the changes in elevation and provide a clearer depiction of the landscape's features, which may not be as noticeable with a true-to-scale representation.

What does the mean elevation of a state mean?
Elevation means the temperature.when it is hot the elevation is high and when it is cold the elevation is low.they call it elevation because is like an elevator.
What instrument is used to measure angle of elevation from the eye to the top of a tree?
a protractor, however, that wouldn't really be used in the real world obviously. However, if you're doing a math problem, and it says that the image is drawn to scale, you can use a protractor to find the angle of elevation. however, angle of elevation questions are usually solved via trigonometry. So, if possible, look to see if you can apply sin cos or tangent to the question.
What is the elevation of snowbird UT?
Base Elevation: 7,760' Top Elevation: 11,000'
What is a scale map?
A map scale shows the ratio of the indicated distances on the map to the actual physical distance.For example a scale of 1:1000 means the actual distance is represented by 1/1000 the length, e.g. 1mm scaled on the map equals 1000mm, or 1 meter, in the real world.A map scale is an item on a map which helps indicate the distance between certain areas.Ex: To find the distance between California and Washington you would use a map scale.
