What else can I help you with?
What is the 5th contour line called?
An Index Contour
What was the first contour line?
The first contour line was created by Charles Hutton in 1771. He used contour lines to map a coal mine.
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.
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
Is a contour line a single line that describes the outside edge of the object?
No, it is not. A contour drawing is what you are referring to. Contour lines are the latitude and longitude lines on a map to find coordinate points.

What is a line that follows the edge of form?
A line that follows the edge of form is a contour line. This type of art is called contour drawing. Doing it without looking at the paper is called blind contour drawing.
What is every fifth contour line?
it is a contour line of elevation Control index contour, or just index contour

What do you call that art when you don't lift the pen off the paper?
"Continual Line Contour"
What is the difference between an outline and a contour line?
The difference between an outline and a contour line is location. An outline is used to draw the outermost form on an object, while a contour line is used to depict details inside the form of an object.
What is the best definition of what a contour line is?
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
What is it called in art a line that is drawn to show the edge and surface ridges of an object?
In art, a line drawn to indicate the edge and surface ridges of an object is called a "contour line." Contour lines define the shape and form of an object, creating a sense of depth and dimension by following its outline and features. They are essential in both drawing and painting for capturing the volume and structure of subjects.
What is a darker contour line usually every fifth line?
It makes it easier to count the number of contour lines.
Is a point outside a contour line higher or lower than the contour line?
lower.
What is the 5th contour line called?
An Index Contour
