you can determine the direction a stream flows on a contour map by seeing which way the contour lines bend.

How do you find direction of flow of a river?

It depends on which way the contour lines bend. For example, if the bend was facing northeast then the stream flows Northeast. the bend is this if you don't understand... -_- -> ) +++ I'm afraid your illustration is rather ambiguous. If you imagine the contour lines to trace a parenthese as you've used, the concave side would face downstream: Flow ---> then the contour is ( ---> Or if you think of the contours tracing a capital letter U with its open end pointing North, the stream will flow North. A better way to understand it is to study the countour lines and streams on a map, especially if of an area you know well!


How do contour lines bend when crossing a stream?

Because we know that water cannot flow uphill, the flow must go from higher contours to lower ones.


How do you know if your going uphill or downhill by looking at a contour map?

If contour lines on a map are spaced closely together, it indicates a steep slope, possibly an uphill area. Conversely, if contour lines are spaced far apart, it suggests a gentle slope or a downhill area. By observing the pattern of contour lines and their spacing, you can determine the direction of the terrain—whether it's going uphill or downhill.

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.

Where is the velocity greatest with a stream with meanders?

On the outside. This is because when the water is flowing around a meander, the water practically goes around, where erosion occurs. If you know science, wherever in a stream where erosion occurs, thats where the velocity is greatest.


Is there a word for the small stream of water flowing southward down a mountain?

I know of no special name for southerly flowing streams. 'Draining in a southerly direction' would perhaps be a description.


How does index contour lines differ from other contour lines?

Index contour lines are thicker and usually have their elevation labeled. They help users quickly identify key elevations on a topographic map. In contrast, regular contour lines show the shape and elevation of the land but do not have specific labels.


If a timing belt goes on a 95 Contour can it damage the valves Is this 4 cylinder a non interfereing motorHave a 95 that lost the belt and you want to know if anything was damaged by the piston?

I had the same question for a 96 contour. found the answer by calling my local ford dealer parts dept and asking them if it was an interference or non interference engine.
