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.
The highest point on a hill shown on a contour map is?
The level curves form loops around the maximum point. As height increases the loops become tighter. Similarly the curves squeeze to the lowest point as height decreases.
To contour lines depicting a valley or draw are you or v-shaped what does the closed end of the contour line point to?
The point of the V is probably where there is a stream, river or wash.

What is the brass cap on a mountain top?
It is probably to do with the application of Trigonometry. If your mountain is the highest point in the area, from this spot is achieved a detailed description of particular localities, such as cities towns and estates, and will measure distances between landmarks by the means of Surveying
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.
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.
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.
What is the name for the highest point of a mountain?
The highest point of a mountain is called the summit.
How can you tell the highest point on a map?
Look for the spot with the highest elevation contour line and elevation numbers. Typically, the highest point on a map is where the contour lines are closest together, indicating steep terrain.
The highest point of the mountain is called?
the summit or peak is the highest point of a mountain
The highest point of a mountain?
The highest point of a mountain is called the peak. IN ADDITION: The pinnical, the culmination or a summit
Is a peak the highest point of a mountain?

What is the highest point in Bosnia?
Highest point in Bosnia and Herzegovina is Maglic mountain (2.386m).
What would the highest and lowest points in an area look like on a topographic map?
The highest point in an area would appear as a peak or summit with concentric contour lines closely spaced together, indicating steep terrain. The lowest point would be represented by depressions or valleys with contour lines spaced farther apart, showing gentle slopes leading to the lowest elevation.
