The change in the elevation between isolines is called a contour line. Contour lines on a topographical map resemble a volcano.

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.

Size in the change of elevation from one contour line to another is what?

The size in the change of elevation from one contour line to another is called the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line on a topographic map. The contour interval helps in understanding the slope and elevation changes of the terrain being represented.


What is the Change from one contour line to the next?

The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is called relief. Hope this helped. ;)

Each intermediate contour line represents a change in elevation of 10 meters.

What is the elevation change between two adjacent lines on a map?

Those lines representing elevation on a map are called contour lines. The difference in elevation between two of these lines is called the contour interval. Different maps use different contour intervals based on the scale of the map, or in other words, the size of the contour interval is based on how zoomed in and detailed the map is. Sometimes a map will have darker and thicker contour intervals. This is called the Index Contour Interval. Index contour intervals appear less frequently and represent a larger elevation change. It helps you figure out the amount of a large elevation difference faster because usually they are multiples of 100 or 1000, making them easier to add up.


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.


The elevation difference between one contour line and the next is called?

What information does a map's interval provide?

It provides the change on a contour line to the other(elevation change)
