A topographical map can be useful in many applications, though it is most commonly used to determine the elevation of a specific location and/or terrain-feature association during land navigation.

By governments to assess site suitability, resources, and planning. A topographic map is used to determine the elevations of a given terrain.

How could you use topographic maps of your area to help decide on the best location for the zoo?
well the topographic maps will determine the elevations in the area and help find the best location without making a zoo somewhere its not supposed to be on. hope i helped :)
What kind of map shows rock types making up earth's surface?
A geologic map shows rock types making up earths surface.
Do Equal points of elevation on a topographic map are connected by contour lines?
A contour lines connects points of equal elevation.
Would you expect growth of crop in a farm or in a topographic level?
On leveled land~!
What three pieces of information does a topographic map provide?
There are many more than three. Compared to a road map, topographic maps also give: Elevation benchmarks, elevation contour lines, marked mountain peaks, and terrain features/landmarks such as buildings, roads, hiking paths, rivers, streams, towers, swampy areas etc. Topo maps will also have latitude and longitude grid lines for precise location identification either to set a GPS waypoint from the map, or to verify GPS coordinates when at a location. Most will also provide magnetic declination from True North for the area covered by the map allowing the user to set their compass to point so North on the dial is True North.

What types of maps show elevation of mountains?
Topographic maps display elevation of mountains through contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation. They provide a detailed representation of the terrain, including mountain peaks and valleys. Digital elevation models (DEM) are also used to create 3D visualizations of mountainous regions.
