The elevation of the tree line varies. The tree line is the point on a particular mountain above which no trees grow. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire is shorter than a number of mountains in North Carolina. Mt. Washington has a tree line. The taller mountains in North Carolina do not.
What else can I help you with?
What generally happens to the elevation of the tree line going from the equator towards the poles Why?
The elevation of the tree line generally decreases as you move from the equator towards the poles. This is because as you move towards the poles, temperatures become colder and the conditions become less favorable for tree growth, resulting in a lower tree line.
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
If the contour interval is 10 meters what is elevation in each intermediate contour line represent?
Each intermediate contour line represents a change in elevation of 10 meters.
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next called?
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.
What is the difference between and index contour and a regular contour line?
An index contour is a thicker contour line that is labeled with the elevation of that contour. It usually appears every fifth contour line and helps to quickly identify elevation changes on a topographic map. Regular contour lines are thinner and connect points of equal elevation.
What is the line of elevation above which trees do not grow?
It is the timberline.
Does a forest have a high elevation or a low elevation?
Forests can be found from sea level to the tree line of high mountains.
What generally happens to the elevation of the tree line going from the equator towards the poles Why?
The elevation of the tree line generally decreases as you move from the equator towards the poles. This is because as you move towards the poles, temperatures become colder and the conditions become less favorable for tree growth, resulting in a lower tree line.
What is a tree line?
Above a certain elevation, temperatures are too low for plants or trees to grow. The climate above the tree line is like a tundra. Only low plants, mosses, and lichens can grow there. That is a tree line.
What is the point beyond which trees cannot grow?
The tree line is the elevation at which trees stop growing due to harsh conditions like cold temperatures, high winds, and lack of nutrients. This line varies depending on the location, with trees unable to grow beyond a certain point in cold, mountainous regions or at high latitudes.
Is it true that every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?
No. Every point on a contour line has the same elevation.
Is wood found everywhere in the world?
No. Depending upon latitude, there is an elevation above which trees do not grow. This is referred to as "the tree line", as in: "Our backpacking club hiked a trail that took us above the tree line".See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
What is a line connecting points of equal elevation?
property line
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
What is the best definition of what a contour line is?
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
What is a contour line map?
topographic elevation
