'Lines' can be drawn at any eatitude, wherever you want them. They don't
even have to be evenly spaced. There is no standard, official, blessed set
of 'lines' that everybody must use.
Some maps and globes have 'lines' printed every 10 degrees, some have
them printed every 15 degrees, some have them printed every 30 degrees,
and some maps and globes don't have any lines printed on them at all. The
mapping software that I use can print lines on the map spaced 2 seconds
(0.000056 degree) apart if I want them. That's 324,000 'lines' of latitude
between the north and south poles, and 648,000 'lines' of longitude around
the equator. I've never needed them.
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean when the contour lines are far apart?
The land is relatively flat.
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 on a topographic map the elevation of an area with contour lines that are very far apart is?
nearly flat
When contour lines are far apart the slope is?
When contour lines are far apart, the slope is gentle or gradual. This indicates a relatively flat area where there is less change in elevation over a given distance. In contrast, closely spaced contour lines represent a steeper slope. Therefore, the spacing of contour lines provides insight into the steepness of the terrain.
Who far apart are the longitude lines?
Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator, where the distance between them is about 69 miles (111 kilometers). As you move towards the poles, the longitude lines converge until they meet at the poles.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate?
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?
On topographic maps, contour lines that are far apart indicate gentle slopes or gradual changes in elevation. The farther apart the contour lines, the flatter the terrain.
How far apart is the white lines on the highway?
30 feet
How far apart are the lines in rugby?
100 yards from tryline to tryline.
Parallel lines are how far from one another?
They can be any distance apart
What does it mean when the contour lines are far apart?
The land is relatively flat.
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.
Would a steep slope on a topographical map have lines close together or far apart?
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
How many lines are in 1 cm?
It depends how far apart they are. It could be an infinite number.
What is a gentle slope?
When the contour lines are farther apart, this means that the slopes between them are gentle. On the other side, if the contour interval is smaller, the slope will be steep.
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.
Are contour lines closely spaced or far apart to indicate steep hills?
Closely spaced
