What is contour line in art?
A contour line in art is an outline of a subject with no shading.
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.
Do all topographic maps have a 0 meter contour line as a starting point?
No, not all topographic maps have a 0 meter contour line as a starting point. The starting point for the contour lines on a map is typically determined by the elevation of the area being mapped. In some cases, the starting point may be a higher or lower elevation depending on the region being mapped.
What is every fifth contour line?
it is a contour line of elevation Control index contour, or just index contour

What is the best definition of what a contour line is?
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
What is contour line in art?

What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
Contour interval
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
What is the difference between and index contour and a regular contour line?
An index contour is a thicker contour line that is labeled with the elevation of that contour. It usually appears every fifth contour line and helps to quickly identify elevation changes on a topographic map. Regular contour lines are thinner and connect points of equal elevation.
What does a contour line indicate when it points downhill?
When a V-shaped contour line points downhill, it means that the contour line is under very low elevation. And incase your wondering about when the contour line is uphill, it means that the elevation level is very high.
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.
Must all topographic maps have a contour line that represents 0 meters of elevation Explain?
Not all topographic maps need a contour line that represents sea level because on some topographic maps you can analyze, that the contour line does not start on sea level. There are several reasons for this. One reason maybe that, the mountain or hill is mapped in the middle of an area and not surrounded by water. Zero meters of elevation represents sea level and if it includes 0 meters than that means that land is possibly an island. In other cases, there should be a contour line marked zero, but in some cases there are not.
