Which map is better for showing the height of a mountain above sea level an elevation map or relief map?
An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.
How can you tell from a map if a mountain is steep?
On maps, points of equal height are linked by lines. These are called contour lines. The closer the spacing of these lines the larger the height change over a given horizontal distance on the ground.Therefore very closely spaced contour lines would indicate that a mountain was steep.Vertical cliffs may also be marked directly on a map. Please see the related links for examples of how differing height and rock features are marked on British Ordnance Survey maps.
Which map is better for showing the height of a mountain above sea level an elevation map or a relief map?
Both will show the elevation. But a relief map, with its colouring and hatching may be easier for a novice to read. I prefer to view contour lines on a less cluttered map.

What type map would you choose to find the borders between countries and why?

What is the meaning of spot heights?
It tells the exact height of something in the map example the height of the mountain
What does the spacing between contour lines tell you on a topograghic map?
the height of the mountain
What is the highest mountain in Switzerland and the height of it and where on the map?

What type of map would you use if you were to go mountain climbing?
You would want a topographical map.
What type of map would mountain climbers find most useful?
Mountain climbers would find topographic maps most useful, as they provide detailed information about the elevation and contours of the terrain. Topographic maps also show features like cliffs, ridges, and valleys, which are essential for planning climbing routes and navigating challenging mountain environments.
Why might you use a contor map?
To find the height of mountains and how steep a mountain is (you mghit use it when hiking).

What two variables do you need to know to determine the gradient between two points on a map?
The height of the land, and the scale of the map
