How do index contours let you know if the land you are viewing are increasing or decreasing?
Each index contour has an elevation associated with it. When you look at 2 contours, one will have a higher corresponding elevation. As you go from the lower elevation to the higher elevation, you know that the land is increasing in the direction toward the higher elevation. From the higher to the lower elevation, the land is decreasing (sloping downward, decreasing in elevation).
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
Temperature vs elevation?
As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.
Distance above or below sea level?
On a British Ordnance Survey map 'contour lines' indicate the height above sea level and a 'trig point' indicates the top of a mountain or other high point.
What three pieces of information does a topographic map provide?
There are many more than three. Compared to a road map, topographic maps also give: Elevation benchmarks, elevation contour lines, marked mountain peaks, and terrain features/landmarks such as buildings, roads, hiking paths, rivers, streams, towers, swampy areas etc. Topo maps will also have latitude and longitude grid lines for precise location identification either to set a GPS waypoint from the map, or to verify GPS coordinates when at a location. Most will also provide magnetic declination from True North for the area covered by the map allowing the user to set their compass to point so North on the dial is True North.
What is the elevation of the ring of fire?
There is no particular elevation. The Ring of Fire is not a single location. It is a band surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Activity associated with it ranges from the sea floor to the tops of high mountains.
Do interior plains have elevation?
Yes. Every location has an elevation.
The term for a geographic location's height above sea level is what?
Elevation. "The elevation of a geographic location is its height above a fixed reference point, often the mean sea level."
What does a topographic map of America show?
Location and elevation of Earths surface features.
How is relief differ from elevation?
Relief refers to the differences in height between the highest and lowest points in an area, indicating the topography. Elevation, on the other hand, is the height above a fixed reference point, usually sea level, at a specific location. In essence, relief depicts the variation in elevation within a particular area, while elevation is the specific height of a point on Earth's surface.
Where is the origin of the LA River and what is the elevation at that location?
The origin is canoga park and the elevation is 772 feet.
What are some problems in setting boundaries in between israel and palestine?
Elevation, location of aquifers, holy sites, particular cities of interest, terrain issues, historic property rights, etc.
What is The term for a geographic locations height above sea level is?
Elevation. "The elevation of a geographic location is its height above a fixed reference point, often the mean sea level."
How is a city's elevation determined?
well elevation is the distance in a particular location between the surface and where the surface of the sea would be at a 90 degree angle measurement (if up to sea level then it's a negative elevation, down to sea level it's a positive elevation). So the elevation of a city would either be the lowest or highest natural (not manmade like a building) point in the city or the average elevation of the city(i'm pretty sure it's this) or the average of the lowest and highest point in the city.
