The answer is #3 or c in a multiple choice question. 560m
index contour
•Contour Line: locus of points with constant elevation. •Dense information along the contour line. •Hardly any information across the contour line.
The highest elevation point is represented by a number...number of feet above sea level. At the very top, there is a point/peak. In order to make sense, a contour line has to represent a relative elevation all the way around the circumference of the mountain. The lines are not circles and where they are wavy, this indicates places where the mountain juts out.
contour interval
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
Contour line connect points of equal elevation on a map, whereas relief is the difference in elevation from the highest and lowest on a map.
Look for the spot with the highest elevation contour line and elevation numbers. Typically, the highest point on a map is where the contour lines are closest together, indicating steep terrain.
The highest elevation line shown on the map depends on what is the highest point - which is often the summit of a hill or mountain.
Contour lines are spaced at a regular height above sea level - every 50 metres, for example. The highest point of a hill may be just above the highest contour line. Therefore a spot or summit height symbol may be used to mark the highest point on the map.
No. Every point on a contour line has the same elevation.
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
it is a contour line of elevation Control index contour, or just index contour
Every point on a given contour line is at the same elevation. Neighboring contour lines are at different elevations.
When a V-shaped contour line points downhill, it means that the contour line is under very low elevation. And incase your wondering about when the contour line is uphill, it means that the elevation level is very high.
