To find the elevation in a state, you would use a topographic map. Topographic maps depict elevation through contour lines, which represent different elevation levels above sea level. By examining these lines, you can determine the elevation of specific areas, as well as identify features such as mountains, valleys, and plateaus. Additionally, digital elevation models (DEMs) can provide detailed elevation data in a more interactive format.
You would use a topographic map to see the elevation of Mt. McKinley. Topographic maps show the physical features of an area, such as the contour lines that indicate changes in elevation.
No, a scale on a topographic map only shows the ratio of a distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground. To find the elevation of a feature, contour lines and contour intervals on the map must be used to determine the height above sea level.
you would need the intervals of each angle to make the map.

An elevation map shows the height of land above sea level.
You would generally use a topographic map to find out the elevation above sea level. These maps provide detailed information about the shape and elevation of the land surface.
You would use a topographic map to find the elevation of a mountain range. Topographic maps show the shape of the land's surface, including mountains, valleys, and elevation through contour lines.
An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.
Yes.
It all depends on the underlying map. A political map must include the lines delineating a political boundary but there is no requirement that anything else be included. Sometimes, the underlying map includes elevation or contour lines.
You would want to use a topographic map that shows elevation and terrain details, as well as trails, peaks, and landmarks in the state park. Additionally, a trail map provided by the park or local ranger station would be helpful to navigate specific mountain climbing routes and ensure you stay on designated paths.

an elevation map shows you the different heights of a certain area
No, a scale on a topographic map only shows the ratio of a distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground. To find the elevation of a feature, contour lines and contour intervals on the map must be used to determine the height above sea level.
A physical map would be the best, but some political maps might also show the location and elevation of Mt. McKinley due to its status as the highest point in the USA (and in North America).
you would need the intervals of each angle to make the map.
To determine elevation using a topographic map, look for contour lines that connect points of equal elevation. Find the contour line closest to your location and determine the elevation value listed on that line. Elevation can be calculated by adding or subtracting the contour interval value from the listed elevation.
