A contour profile is a profile made by drawing lines down from a topogrphic map.

I learned this info last year so that answer may not be completely 100% correct but its just an idea

How do you find the slope between two locations on a topographic map?

. Lay a strip of paper along a line across the area where the profile is to be constructed.b. Mark on the paper the exact place where each contour, stream and hill top crosses the profile line.c. Label each mark with the elevation of the contour it represents.d. Prepare a vertical scale on profile paper by labeling the horizontal lines corresponding to the elevation of each index contour line.e. Place the paper with the labeled contour lines at the bottom of the profile paper and project each contour to the horizontal line of the same elevation.f. Connect the points.


What is labeled to indicate the elevation along a contour line?

Contour lines are typically labeled with their elevation, indicating the vertical distance above a reference point, such as sea level. This allows users to easily determine the elevation profile of the land or terrain represented on a map.

A contour belt can be purchased at a variety of retail outlets. Some stores that offer contour belts for sale include The Contour, Contour System, and Amazon.


What are the difference's between contour interval and index contour?

A contour interval is the vertical distance between contour lines on a topographic map, representing the change in elevation. An index contour is a heavier contour line that is labeled with the elevation value, to help users quickly identify key elevations on the map.


Which has a heavier visual weight and object with a simple contour or with a complicated contour?

A complicated contour is heavier.


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 a darker contour line usually every fifth line?

It makes it easier to count the number of contour lines.


What is the difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side?

The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.


What is the difference between a contour interval and an index contour?

A contour interval is the vertical distance between two contour lines on a map, representing the change in elevation. An index contour is a thicker contour line labeled with the elevation of the line above sea level, typically every fifth contour line. It helps users quickly identify elevation values on a map.
