What is the definition of hachured contour lines?
Hachured contour lines are contour lines with ticks pointing downslope that indicate a depression on a topographic map.
How are depressions symbolized on a topographic map?
A depression is shown by contour lines with small marks pointing toward the lowest point of the depression.
How would you use the words 'contour line' in a sentence?
The road followed the contour line around the mountain. The contour line was smooth and created good air flow over the wing.

What do elevation maps use to show elevation?
Maps can show elevation with contour lines
What is the Rules for Drawing and reading a Depression Contour?
When drawing a depression contour, the contour lines will have small hatches or ticks on the inner side, indicating a depression in the land. When reading a depression contour on a map, the contour lines inside the depression will have lower elevation values as you move towards the center of the depression.
What is a depression contour and a contour line?
A depression contour is a contour line that represents a lower elevation compared to the surrounding terrain. A contour line is a line on a map connecting points of equal elevation, indicating the shape of the land surface.

What do V-shaped contour lines indicate when the point uphill?

What is an depression contour?
A depression contour is a line drawn on a map connecting points of equal depth below a reference point, such as sea level. It represents a depression or a lower elevation relative to the surrounding terrain. These contours help in visualizing the shape and depth of the land surface.
Which would be more likely to show a shallow 1.5-meter-deep depression in the ground a meter contour interval or a five meter contour interval?
A one meter contour interval would be more likely to show a shallow1.5-meter-deep depression in the ground than a five meter contour interval, because itshows more frequent changes in elevation.
