What kind of map show is different levels of elevation?
Contour lines show elevation differences on topographic maps. On other maps, a coloured grid can show changes in elevation (these are called digital elevation models or DEMs).
Describe difference between the landform and topographic map of Mount St. Helens?
mt st helens is 3-d, topographic map is 2-d. a topographic map can probably fit on your desk, but mt st helens may not
How do you calculate the total relief on a topographic map?
Total relief is the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points on the map.
The major difference between a topographic map and other maps is that a topographic map shows .?
A topographical map shows elevations. They are more useful than other types of maps when looking for information about landforms, their locations, and their heights.
What tells the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines on a topographic map?
contour lines

What is the name of the type of map that depicts land below sea level?
This type of map is called a bathymetric map. It measures the different levels below the sea level. It is like a topographic map but below sea level.

On a topographic map where would you locate the contour interval in the margin?
It would be the difference between the two darker lines, or index lines, and then divide the space in between with your difference.
What is a relief on a topographic map?
The relief is the difference between the highest and lowest contour line.
