Want this question answered?
elevation, vertical distance from a datum plane, usually mean sea level to a point above the earth.
the type of map that shows elevation is called an elevation map. elevation maps are used for showing how high the land is.
The relief of an area on a map is the difference between the highest point and the lowest point. You find relief by finding the highest and lowest numbers on a contour map, then you subtract those numbers.
elevation map
a contour map What type of map shows elevations and locations? A Topographic Map
because
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.
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation

the type of map that shows elevation is called an elevation map. elevation maps are used for showing how high the land is.
An elevation map is a type of map that shows the height of the land surface above sea level. It uses contour lines to represent different elevations, helping to visualize the terrain and topography of a particular area. Elevation maps are commonly used in geology, geography, and environmental studies.
An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.
an elevation map shows you the different heights of a certain area
On a British Ordnance Survey map 'contour lines' indicate the height above sea level and a 'trig point' indicates the top of a mountain or other high point.
The relief of an area on a map is the difference between the highest point and the lowest point. You find relief by finding the highest and lowest numbers on a contour map, then you subtract those numbers.
OMG, that was one of my science questions I had. Dang. I failed at it, so Idk the answer. bahahah
There are various maps that show elevation. A physical map shows elevation changes with different colors and shades. A topographic map also shows elevation but with contour lines instead of colors and shading. A thematic map may also show elevation, but elevation is usually in the background, and not important to the map itself.
