Every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?
Every point on a given contour line is at the same elevation. Neighboring contour lines are at different elevations.
If the contour intervals doubled how many contour lines are needed to show same elevation?
If the contour intervals doubled, you would need half as many contour lines to represent the same elevation range. For example, if originally the contour interval was 10 meters, and it is increased to 20 meters, each contour line would now represent a larger elevation change. Therefore, to depict the same range of elevation, the total number of contour lines required would be reduced by half.
When would we use a contour map and why?
Contour maps show elevation. The contour interval tells what the difference is between each contour line is, so lines closer together means a steeper slope, and further apart means a gentler slope.
What is the relationship between the relief of an area and the contour interval on a map of the area?
The Relationship between the relief of an area and the contour interval on a map of the area is A contour line
What do the numbers on index contour lines indicate?
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
What is a sentence for contour line?
create a sentence for contour line
How do you spell contourline?
The term is two words "contour line" (an elevation line).
What is every fifth contour line?
it is a contour line of elevation Control index contour, or just index contour
Will elevations of 300' and 350' respectively occur on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map?
No, elevations of 300' and 350' would not appear on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map. Contour lines represent the same elevation throughout the line, so different elevations would be on different contour lines.
What is the best definition of what a contour line is?
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
On a topographic map how would you show an island in the ocean with an elevation of 80 feet if the contour interval is 10 feet?
You would just add 10 every contour line you pass until you get to the number 80.
What is contour line in art?
A contour line in art is an outline of a subject with no shading.
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
What is a darker contour line usually every fifth line?
It makes it easier to count the number of contour lines.
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
Is a point outside a contour line higher or lower than the contour line?
lower.
What does contour mean in music?
In music, contour is the direction and shape that the notes move in. This is a very difficult concept to explain in words. Take for example a regular scale with a quarter note on each degree; its contour would be an arch because the pitches rise to the center and descend from the center of the line to the end.
