What else can I help you with?
Contour interval is what?
the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines.
What do contour lines on a topographic map show?
They show the relief of an area. They will have height values attached to them. The distance between contour lines gives an impression of gradient. The closer they are together, the steeper the slope.
On a topographic map what indicates the difference in elevation between adjacent lines?
Contour interval
On a topographic map where would you locate the contour interval in the margin?
It would be the difference between the two darker lines, or index lines, and then divide the space in between with your difference.
In what ways may relief be shown on a map?
Colors, shading, and contour lines.
What is the name for the elevation difference between adjacent and contour lines?
The name for the elevation difference between adjacent contour lines is the contour interval.
What is the difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side?
The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.
On a topographic map he difference in elevation between two side-by-side contour lines is called?
The difference in elevation between two side-by-side contour lines on a topographic map is called the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line and helps depict the steepness of the terrain.
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called?
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called a contour interval.
Contour interval is what?
the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines.
What is the name for the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines?
Contour interval.
What is the definition of a contour interval?
The definition of a contour interval is the difference in elevation between two consecutive lines.
What tells the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines on a topographic map?
The contour lines on a topographic map represent the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the terrain. If the lines are spaced far apart, it indicates a gentle slope. The contour interval, which is typically shown in the map's legend, specifies the difference in elevation between each contour line.
What is the difference called between two side by side contour lines?
the contour interval
What is the difference between any two contour lines on a map?
Contour lines on a map represent points of equal elevation. The difference in elevation between any two contour lines is called the contour interval, which is usually indicated on the map legend. By knowing the contour interval, you can determine the steepness of the terrain in that specific area.
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called what?
The change in the elevation between isolines is called a contour line. Contour lines on a topographical map resemble a volcano.
What is the name for the elevation between two adjacent contour lines?
The name for the elevation between two adjacent contour lines is known as the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between each contour line on a topographic map.
