What is horizontal deflection?
The term horizontal deflection refers to how much something deviates from the horizontal line.
What involves plowing along curves?
Contour farming.
Analysis of forces on horizontal milling machine?
how to calculate forces on coulmn of horizontal milling machine?
What is application of uniform circular motion horizontal circle?
How the weight of the body is balanced in a horizontal circle?
What is tacheometric surveying?
the special type of theodolite used to measure horizontal and vertical distance and horizontal angle.
How do you find the gradient on a contour map?
the ratio between the vertical interval and horizontal equivalent is defined as the gradient.
Are contour lines used to indicate horizontal distances or vertical distances on earths surface?
Horizontal
Is it True the contour interval states the horizontal distance between landforms or man-made features?
This question is False!
How do you find the slope between two locations on a topographic map?
. Lay a strip of paper along a line across the area where the profile is to be constructed.b. Mark on the paper the exact place where each contour, stream and hill top crosses the profile line.c. Label each mark with the elevation of the contour it represents.d. Prepare a vertical scale on profile paper by labeling the horizontal lines corresponding to the elevation of each index contour line.e. Place the paper with the labeled contour lines at the bottom of the profile paper and project each contour to the horizontal line of the same elevation.f. Connect the points.
What connects points of equal elevation on a topographic map?
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.
How do contour lines show steep and gentle?
Contour lines are lines that join up points on a map that represent points on Earth's surface that have equal height. The distance between the contour lines gives an indication of how much the height changes over a horizontal distance. In other words it shows you how steep or gentle the slope is.As such a steep slope will be marked by closely spaced contour lines and a more gentle slope will have more widely spaced contour lines.

What map portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable manner in addition to presenting the horizontal position of the represented features and shows vertical position by contour lines?
topographic
what map types portrays terrain features in a measurable way as well the horizontal positions of the features represented?
Topographic Map

What is every fifth contour line?
it is a contour line of elevation Control index contour, or just index contour
How do contour map show area of shallow gradient?
Contour maps have lines along points at the same height or elevation. The contours are usually drawn at regular intervals, such as every 10 or 50m of height change.Where contour lines are very close on a map, this shows that the height is changing a great deal over a short horizontal distance, and therefore the gradient is steep.Areas of shallow gradient will have contour lines that are a long way apart, showing that points that are a set distance apart in height are a large distance apart horizontally.
