The contour interval is a measurement of?
the distance between mean sea level and any given contour line
What is the largest time difference between any two countries in the world?
The largest time difference between any two countries in the world is 26 hours. This difference occurs between Baker Island and the Line Islands, which are located in the Pacific Ocean.
What is the biggest difference in time zones between any two locations on Earth?
The biggest difference in time zones between any two locations on Earth is 26 hours. This occurs between Baker Island and the Line Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
What is the biggest time zone difference between any two locations on Earth?
The biggest time zone difference between any two locations on Earth is 26 hours. This occurs between Baker Island and Howland Island, which are located in the Pacific Ocean. Baker Island is in UTC-12 time zone, while Howland Island is in UTC14 time zone.
Is Contour plowing also known as no-till plowing?
NOT AT ALL. no-till plowing is when you leave it unturned. contour is when you plow it in the shape of the land. "No-till plowing" is an oxymoron, since any form of plowing is a form of tillage.
Is contour interval and vertical interval equal?
Not necessarily but yes, it can be. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between successive contours, while a vertical interval is the distance between any two contours. So yeah, it can be the same sometimes.
The contour interval is a measurement of?
the distance between mean sea level and any given contour line
How can contour lines demonstrate the levels of elevation on a map?
Each contour line represents a certain elevation, and the difference in elevation between any two adjacent countour lines is constant. So, for example, if in the map area there were a cone-shaped feature, like a volcano, the shape would be shown as a circle in a circle in a circle in a circle (and so on). The more contour lines you cross along a path, the steeper the climb, and the fewer contour lines you cross on the path, the more level it is.
What are the characteristics of contour?
One of the characteristics of contour is that the variation of the vertical distance between any of the two contour lines are usually assumed to be uniform. The other characteristic is that all the points on a contour line are of the same elevation.
What does the spacing of contour lines tell us?
Contour lines refer to the elevation of a line as it runs through a mapped area. For instance a 1,000ft. contour line might meander through an open field or wrap completely around a hill. On any map the "Contour Interval" is indicated somewhere as 25FT or 50ft. or 100ft. meaning that it will be this distance vertically between lines of the same altitude. In flat lands it may be a long distance between contour lines but on a steep slope they might be crowded close together.
Why is there a difference between NZ contour lines and Australian contour lines?
Maps can be created with differing scales. These days, it's childishly simple for the cartographer to change any scale on any parameter before printing. It's possible one of your maps is 10 meters/interval while the other is 5 Or, if one of your maps was printed before SI was made standard, it might be 'Imperial' Or, if one of your maps was published in US First things to check on any map; Date, scale, orientation, contour interval
Why contour line never cross?
Contour line's measure elevation, there cannot be a space with two different elevations at the same time. For example, a hill can be 1,000 feet tall at the summit but not also 5 ft at its summit (unless you're in some parallel dimension). So no, they never cross.
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.
Difference between tangent and parallel lines?
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point
What line on a map connects the points of equal elevation?
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.
What is the difference between perpindicular and intersecting lines?
Intersecting lines can cross at any angle. Perpendicular lines cross or meet at 90 degrees only.
Why contour line never crosses another contour line?
Each contour line represents a different elevation. If they touched at any point, that would mean that point would have 2 different elevations at once, which doesn't make any sense. They can get really close if there is a steep drop, but they never touch. +++ They can never cross but they converge as the represented ground steepens, so they touch in appearance on paper when representing a vertical face of height at least equal to the difference between two consecutive lines.
