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 kind of formations can be found inside a rock, such as sedimentary layers or mineral deposits?

Common formations found inside rocks include sedimentary layers, mineral deposits, fossils, and crystal structures. These formations provide valuable information about the rock's history and the conditions under which it formed.


What kind of soil conservation method is used least in New Jersey?

One of the least used soil conservation methods in New Jersey is contour plowing. This method involves plowing along the natural contours of the land to reduce soil erosion. However, due to the relatively flat topography of New Jersey, contour plowing is not as widely practiced compared to other soil conservation methods like cover cropping or no-till farming.


What kind of data is recorded with a seismograh?

A seismograph records seismic waves generated by earthquakes, explosions, or human activities. It captures data such as the time, duration, and amplitude of these seismic waves to provide information about the location and magnitude of the seismic event.


What kind of information do meteorologists get from weather balloons?

Meteorologists receive data on temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind speed and direction from weather balloons. This information helps improve weather forecasting models and predict weather patterns.

What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?

Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.


What kind of topography does contour lines that are far apart indicate?

Contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope. Because contour lines connect points with the same elevation, wide spacing indicates that the elevation is not changing drastically.

What kind of slope give you lines that are close together and what kind gives lines that are far apart?

If the "contour interval" ... the elevation difference between lines ... is the same everywhere on the map, then the lines will be closer rogether on steep ground, and farther apart on flatter ground.


What kind of map that uses shading and elevation lines?

That would be a topographical map. It uses contour lines (usually 100 or 50 ft. incraments) to show elevation above or below sea level. They're usually black & white and can be found wherever you can find maps.


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.

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.
