How can one determine the elevation on a topographic map?

To determine elevation on a topographic map, look for contour lines that connect points of equal elevation. The elevation can be found by reading the numbers on these lines. The closer the lines are together, the steeper the terrain.


What lines show elevation on a topographical map?

Contour lines show elevation on a topographical map. These lines connect points of equal elevation above sea level, with lines close together representing steep terrain and lines further apart indicating gentler slopes.


What line on a map connects the points of equal elevation?

What type of map measures elevation?

A topographic map measures elevation by showing contour lines that represent changes in elevation on the Earth's surface. These lines connect points of the same elevation, allowing users to visualize the terrain and understand the steepness of slopes.


What type of lines can be used on a map to show elevation?

Contour lines are used on a map to show elevation. These lines connect points of equal elevation above or below a reference point, indicating the shape of the terrain and the steepness of slopes. The closer the lines are, the steeper the terrain.


What do lines on a countar map indicate?

The lines connect points that are at the same elevation.


Would a political map indicate elevation?
