What are contour intervals?
Contour lines were first used in the Schiehallion Experiment. This was an experiment designed to find the mass of a mountain, and by calculation, the mass of the Earth!!Contour lines were invented by Charles Hutton, in 1774, as a method of determining (in that case) the volume of the mountain.They are now commonly shown on topographic maps as a method of indicating the shape of the land and the depths of lakes and the sea. The intervals vary according to the need of the map, but common 1:50 000 maps have then indicated every 20 m, with the 100m lines shown slightly bolder.
What is the number of contour lines you would need to show a change om elevation of 1000 feet on a map with a contour interval of 200 feet?
Ok so each line is equal to 200 feet. So let's pretend you're starting at 0 how many lines would you need to get to 1,000? Line 1 =200 then Line 2=400 then line 3=600 then line 4=800 and finally line 5=1,000 _____1,000 feet / _____800feet / _____600feet / _____400feet / _____200feet / So how many lines did it take?
Why do you think one contour line never crosses another contour line?
Each contour line represents a different elevation. If two contour lines crossed, or touched, then the point where they cross or touch would be a point that has two different elevations, which would be pretty silly.
What size of earth wire can be used in wiring system?
You will need to look up cabling/wiring codes.Is it:Telephony,Audio distribution,110 volt power lines, orHigher voltage power lines?
Can you show a diagram of the layers of soil from the oldest to the youngest?
No, WikiAnswers can not include diagrams. However if you draw 5 horizontal lines one below the other and in the gap between the bottom two lines write "oldest" and in the gap between the top to lines write "youngest". Then above the top line write "The Surface / Grass", you will have made the diagram you need.
On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a?
A very steep regionClosely spaced contour lines indicate a very steep slope.Conversely, widely spaced lines indicate areas that are nearly flat.-Leftover.Tech
What is a contour interval?
EDITED 1/8/16: A contour interval is a the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines. Previous person put some ridiculous answer. This one is the correct answer on APEX and does not need improvement.
What do you need to know about a topographic map to read about it?
You mist familiarize yourself with the maps scale and symbols and be able to interpret contour lines!!(:

What is the elevation between one contour line and the next one on a map?
It depends completely on the type of map and the scale of the map. Look several contour lines above and below the area of interest. Often, the elevation is printed on every 5th contour line. Divide the difference by the number of spaces between the two lines. Example, one contour line says "1000" and the next one with an elevation says "1500". If there are 4 lines in between these two, it is 100 ft per contour line. In some areas, you will need to follow a contour line around the map to track down the elevation of that line. Easier still, check the legend on the side or bottom of the map. The example showing the colors or symbols used may also tell the contour interval if it is consistent for the entire map.
What are lines that lie in different planes that do not intersect?
Parallel lines would always lie in the same plane. They would need to be skew lines.
Do perpendicular angles always need intersecting lines?
Yes. A t has a perpendicular line but in order to form a right angle you need to have the lines intersect.
A diagram for a starter for a 98 Ford Contour?
i need diagram for a starter a 98 ford contour
Are all Intersecting lines parallel?
Parallel lines cannot intersect in the Euclidean plane. Intersecting lines are not parallel.
How do you show a mountain with contour lines?
First of all, you need to make the mountain without the contour lines with the sandbox tools,Then, move the whole mountain above the ground say, 6". Then, make a huge rectangle quite a bit bigger then your mountain, then make the rectangle a component, copy it up about 1-50' (Making an array) depending on the size of your mountain until you can't see the top of the highest peak, and select the mountain and all of the rect components, and run Intersect With Model. Then, delete the components, and move the mountain, and the newly created contour lines, back to their original spots. Done!
