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 information do meteorologists get from weather balloons?
the information they get is radiosonder
How are the elements identified from bright light line spectra?
Each type of atom gives off a unique set of colors. The colored lines (or Spectral Lines ) are a kind of "signature" for the atoms
What kind of services does AMS provide?
This is a career centre where you can study atmospheric and related sciences. You will learn about meteorology. This is basically all about the weather.
What color do you get when you burn potassium chloride?
A lila color, from potassium spectral lines.
How do contour lines show stream direction?
indicated with different kind of contour numbers , which are showed in brown curved lines
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.
In what kind of drawing do you draw outlines and interior lines that define the form?
contour. =]
What kind of slope does close contour lines on a topographic map show?
elevation. the closer the lines the steeper the slope.
What kind of feature is formed when two contour lines join over a short distance?
cliff
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 is a contour feather?
a kind of feather on a bird's body, wings, and tail that is strong and helps provide a streamlined shape
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 information does a graph show?
pictures of lines
What kind of topgraphy is indicated by contour line that are very close together by contour line that are very far apart?
Lines that are very close indicate a steep change in altitude. Far apart means a slow or gradual change.
