Which type of objectives have angle of elevation?
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
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 do use a broken line for when drawing an elevation?
Hidden edges
What are conour lines?
Contour lines are used when you have spatial data, with the x,y values identifying a particular point and z is the value at that point. It could be elevation above sea level, temperature, pressure or any other measurable property. Contour lines identify where the data suggests equal values should exist. On an elevation map, contour lines show the elevation of equal values points. A 50 ft contour line would go through all points where the data suggest should be at 50 ft elevation. See related links.
How do you find a slope of a line segment?
Slope is expressed as the percentage of rise/fall in elevation over a specific distance and is determined by dividing the change in elevation by the length of the line. So if a line segment is 10 feet long and rises or falls 1 foot in elevation, the slope would be 1 ft/10 ft or 10 percent.
What is a line connecting points of equal elevation?
property line
Line drawn on a topographic map to join points of equal elevation?
lines of equal elevation are called contour lines.
What are the lines joining places of same elevation called?
a contour line joins places of equal elevation
What is the difference between contour lines and relief?
Contour line connect points of equal elevation on a map, whereas relief is the difference in elevation from the highest and lowest on a map.
What is a contour on a topographic map?
A contour is a line that joins points of equal elevation.
What is a Contour line on a topographic map?
Contour lines represent connecting points of equal elevation on a topographic map.
Do Equal points of elevation on a topographic map are connected by contour lines?
A contour lines connects points of equal elevation.
How do the contour line on topographic map indicate the slop of the land?
A contour line is an imaginary line connecting point of equal elevation. Going from one line to an adjacent line is a change in slope.
What is the name of the line on a map that joins places of equal height?
The name of the line on a map that joins places of equals height is "the contour." Contour lines are lines of equal elevation, whereas isohypse are lines of equal geopotential height.
What line on a map connects the points of equal elevation?
Contour lines or also known as isohypses, connect points of equal elevation on a map. Contour lines can be curved, straight or a mixture of both. The lines on a map describe the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes.
Is it true that every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?
No. Every point on a contour line has the same elevation.
What would the highest and lowest points in an area like on a topographic map?
On a topographic map a contour line connects points of equal elevation.....hope that helped
