A contour map may not remain the same over time due to changes in the landscape, such as erosion, sediment deposition, or human activities like construction and mining. Natural events like earthquakes or volcanic activity can also alter topography. However, for stable, unchanging areas, such as a solid rock formation, a contour map may remain relatively consistent over long periods. Regular updates and surveys are necessary to maintain accuracy in contour maps.

If the contour intervals doubled how many contour lines are needed to show same elevation?

If the contour intervals doubled, you would need half as many contour lines to represent the same elevation range. For example, if originally the contour interval was 10 meters, and it is increased to 20 meters, each contour line would now represent a larger elevation change. Therefore, to depict the same range of elevation, the total number of contour lines required would be reduced by half.


Will elevations of 300' and 350' respectively occur on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map?

No, elevations of 300' and 350' would not appear on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map. Contour lines represent the same elevation throughout the line, so different elevations would be on different contour lines.


Are doors for 1995 and 1996 contours interchangeable?

They are almost identical. If the style of contour is the same, i would say yes. IE - Contour GL.

Which type of contour symbols connect 2 cities with the same elevation?

Contour symbols known as contour lines connect two cities with the same elevation. These lines indicate points on a map that share the same height above sea level.

Why contour line never cross?

Contour line's measure elevation, there cannot be a space with two different elevations at the same time. For example, a hill can be 1,000 feet tall at the summit but not also 5 ft at its summit (unless you're in some parallel dimension). So no, they never cross.


Is it always the same distance between 2 contour lines?

Yes it is because they must have the same distance between them to be considered contour
