What is the Change from one contour line to the next?
The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is called relief. Hope this helped. ;)
What does a contour line measure?
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called the?
relief
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).
What are the lines joining places of same elevation called?
a contour line joins places of equal elevation
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called?
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called a contour interval.
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called what?
The change in the elevation between isolines is called a contour line. Contour lines on a topographical map resemble a volcano.
The elevation difference between one contour line and the next is called?
latitude and longitude
What are maps called that show elevation with lines showing each new leve of elevation?
A contour map. The lines are called contour lines
What is the Change from one contour line to the next?
The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is called relief. Hope this helped. ;)
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next called?
It is contour interval.
The elevation difference from one contour line to the next is called the?
contour interval
What is the elevation change between two adjacent lines on the map?
Those lines representing elevation on a map are called contour lines. The difference in elevation between two of these lines is called the contour interval. Different maps use different contour intervals based on the scale of the map, or in other words, the size of the contour interval is based on how zoomed in and detailed the map is. Sometimes a map will have darker and thicker contour intervals. This is called the Index Contour Interval. Index contour intervals appear less frequently and represent a larger elevation change. It helps you figure out the amount of a large elevation difference faster because usually they are multiples of 100 or 1000, making them easier to add up.

Lines on a map that pass through points with the same elevation are called?
Elevation contour lines.
What are lines on a map labeled with elevation?
Called both Elevation Lines or Contour Lines
