What is the highest point of elevation in Philadelphia PA?
It's either at the intersection of Bethlehem Pike and Germantown Ave in Chestnut Hill or Summit Ave in Roxborough.
When might two contour lines cross?
Contour lines don't really "cross" if we consider them strictly. But they can "merge" at a point where there is an abrupt change in elevation, as a cliff. Let's look at things a bit more closely. If we map a hill with one side cut straight down by something like a quarry or the action of a river, we'd see contour lines on a map coming together to "merge" along the face of the cliff. There are "multiple elevations" represented by the face of the cliff, and two or more lines might become one line along what is the cliff face on our map.
On a toptgraphic map contour lines that from a circle indicate?
All of the points along the line are the same elevation. The answer he wants is for novanet..meaning this answer is irrelevant Dx
How do you find the slope between two locations on a topographic map?
. Lay a strip of paper along a line across the area where the profile is to be constructed.b. Mark on the paper the exact place where each contour, stream and hill top crosses the profile line.c. Label each mark with the elevation of the contour it represents.d. Prepare a vertical scale on profile paper by labeling the horizontal lines corresponding to the elevation of each index contour line.e. Place the paper with the labeled contour lines at the bottom of the profile paper and project each contour to the horizontal line of the same elevation.f. Connect the points.
What is a contour interval?
EDITED 1/8/16: A contour interval is a the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines. Previous person put some ridiculous answer. This one is the correct answer on APEX and does not need improvement.
How can you tell from the map which point on the hill is the highest?
Look for the point where contour lines are closest together or where the numbers on the contour lines are highest. This indicates the highest elevation on the hill.
Why is the highest point of a hill represented by an x not a contour line?
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.
What is the highest elevation line shown on the map?
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.
Why isnt the highest point on a hill or a mountain represented by a 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.
How do you know a hill on a topographic map?
On a topographic map, you can identify a hill by examining the contour lines. Contour lines that form closed loops are an indication of a hill or a mountain. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope of the hill.
What is the highest point of a hill called?
The highest point of a hill is called its summit.
What is the elevation of the highest contour line on hill w?
The elevation of the highest contour line on hill W is the value indicated on that specific contour line, representing the peak of the hill. On a topographic map, contour lines are used to show the elevation and shape of the land, with each line representing a specific elevation.
Contour lines that form a circle indicate?
Contour lines forming a circle on a topographic map indicate a hill or summit. This circular pattern of contour lines represents a peak with increasingly lower elevations as you move outward from the center of the circle. This can help in identifying the highest point in a specific area.
What is the pattern of the contour lines around a simple hill?
Contour lines around a simple hill form concentric closed loops, with each loop representing a specific elevation. The lines are closer together and more tightly packed at steeper parts of the hill and farther apart on gentler slopes. The highest point of the hill is indicated by the smallest closed loop.
What is the meaning of 'summit?
Highest point, hill top, hill peak.
What is the meaning of word hill summit?
Highest point, hill top, hill peak.
The highest point a hill or mountain?
PEAK
