What else can I help you with?
Which geologic feature would most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another?
a flat area, such as a feild.
What does topography tell us?
it is a shape of land, represented on a map by contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.
Why would you avoid a route where map shows contour lines that are very close together?
When contour lines are close together the land is steep
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.
What do the lines on a topographical map mean?
The lines that connect points having the same elevation are a kind of isopleth called contour lines, or contours.The closer that the lines are on the map the steeper the terrain is.
Would it always be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that are curved?
No, it may not always be easy to walk up a slope represented by curved contour lines. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope. Walking up a slope with curved contour lines could be more challenging if the slope is steep.
Why are contour lines usually curves?
Contour lines represent points of equal elevation on a map. They are typically curved because elevation changes continuously across a landscape. Straight contour lines would imply sudden changes in elevation, which are rare in natural terrain.
Drawing and recognising forms of important contours like valleysridges?
Valleys and ridges are important contour features that can be represented on topographic maps using contour lines. Valleys are represented by V-shaped contour lines pointing towards higher elevations, while ridges are represented by U-shaped contour lines pointing towards lower elevations. By understanding how contour lines represent these features, you can accurately interpret the topography of an area.
Why should contour lines never cross?
Contour lines represent constant elevations on a map. If they were to cross, it would imply that a single point on the map has two different elevations, which is physically impossible. Crossing contour lines would lead to inaccuracies in interpreting the terrain and understanding the topography represented on the map.
How do contour lines show stream direction?
indicated with different kind of contour numbers , which are showed in brown curved lines
Why does contour lines that show a steep cliff look different from contour lines that show a gentle slope?
one thing is that the countour lines that are steep cliff are more curved to the left side and the other ones the ones that show a gentle slope are curved to the right side
What land feature would you see on V-shaped contour lines?
A valley or a ravine is typically represented by V-shaped contour lines on a topographic map. These lines indicate a steep-sided depression or low-lying area between higher elevations.
What symbol represents a mountain range?
Mountains are represented as triangles on map
What kind of map has curved lines?
A topographic map typically has curved contour lines to represent elevation changes in the landscape. These lines connect points of equal elevation, allowing readers to visualize the shape and steepness of the terrain.
What connects points of equal elevation on a topographic map?
Contour lines or also known as isohypses, connect points of equal elevation on a map. Contour lines can be curved, straight or a mixture of both. The lines on a map describe the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes.
How are river valleys represented on a topographic map?
Usually by contour lines, with the river shown in blue.
What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
