Characteristics
Lines connecting areas with the same elevation on a topographic map
What are contour lines?
Describe the index contour lines
What is darker/bolder lines that are every 5th line and have the elevation listed on them
The contour interval of this map
What is 100 ft.
What is the relief of this map if the base is 110m?
What is 30m?
A cross-sectional view along a line drawn through a portion of a topographic map
What is a profile?
a detailed description or representation on a map of the natural and artificial features of an area
What is topography?
Explain why contour lines never cross
What is they each show elevation and elevations can't cross
Which side of the hill is the steepest?
What is Side B
Is there a stream on this map? How do you know?
What is yes, there is an area where the lines are forming a "V" shape and point upstream
This is how you would find the relief of a map
What is find the difference between the highest elevation and lowest elevation
Which feature would NOT be identified on a topographic map? A. river B. bridge C. a clothing store D. tall mountain
What is C: clothing store
Explain the contour interval of a map (what does that mean?)
What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next
Which side oft the hill has a stream or river?
What is side A
Which letter represents where the stream would be?
What is "C"?
Which of these is NOT shown by a topographic map-- depth of the water table; types of man-made structures; or, hills and valleys?
What is depth of the water table
The mark on a topographic map that shows a specific elevation
What is a benchmark?
What would the contour lines on a topographic map look like for a steep area?
What is "the lines for the steep area would be very close together"?
In which compass direction is the river flowing?
Northwest
What is the maximum possible elevation at point A?
What is 149m? (150-1)
In which field would the use to topographic maps NOT be most useful: urban planning; athletics; or, environmental management?
What is athletics?
How flat areas appear on a topographic map
What is with wide spaces between contour lines?
how do you know if there is a stream on a topographic map?
What is the contour lines would form a "V" shape and would point upstream
How many hills are on this map? How do you know?
1 because there's only one completed "circle" representing the top of a hill.
Is there a depression on this map? How do you know?
No, there are no hachure marks.
What is the most common feature of a topographic map?
What are contour lines?
