A hill. Or possibly a pit, depending on whether the elevation levels are getting higher or lower as you move towards the center.

What does the contour intercal represent?
geographic infromation systems are what
If the contour interval is 10 meters then what is the change in elevation of each intermediate contour line represent?
10 meters
How do you use contour lines?
Contour lines are lines that connect points of equal elevation. A topographical map is a map that uses contour lines to represent the elevation of land surfaces.
What do all points on a contour line represent?
All points on a contour line represent locations with the same value of the variable being plotted, such as elevation or temperature. Each contour line indicates a specific level or value of the variable, and points on the line have that exact value.
If the contour interval on a topographic map is 50 meters how much difference in elevation do 12 contour lines represent?
you just have to do 50*12 and that equals 600!
What do closed circles represent on a topographical map?
The circles are called contour lines. A contour line connects points of the same elevation. When the lines are close together on a map that show the land is steep.

The contour lines that represent the top of a hill form a .?
a closed loop!
What are the contour line rules?
- Contour lines never cross. All lines on a contour line represent one elevation.- The spacing of contour lines depends on slope characteristics. Contour lines that are close together show a steep slope. Contour lines that are far apart show a gentle slope.- Contour lines that cross a valley or a stream are V shaped. The C points toward the area of the highest elevation. If a stream or river flows through the valley, the V points upstream.-The tops of the hills, mountains, and depressions are shown by closed circles. Depressions are marked with short, straight lines inside the circle that point down slope to the depression.
On topographical map how do represent a steep slope?
Contour lines that are closely spaced
What do all points on a contour line represent?
All points on a contour line represent locations with the same value of the variable being plotted, such as elevation or temperature. Each contour line indicates a specific level or value of the variable, and points on the line have that exact value.

What does a plain look like on a map?
On a map that uses contour lines to represent height, a flat plain should show very few (if any) contour lines.
What is a Contour line on a topographic map?
Contour lines represent connecting points of equal elevation on a topographic map.
What is a specially drawn contour lines used to represent a round number of feet or meters?
