What else can I help you with?
How do contour lines determine which area of an island has the steepest slope?
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
What line is steeper y equals 5x-2 or y equals 3x plus 10?
I won't tell you directly, but I will explain how to find out to you. In the type of equation you are faced with now (y=mx+b), m represents the slope. So, in y=3x+10, the slope is 3. Now, find the slope of the other equation and see which is greater. Lines with greater slopes are steeper.
Steeper lines have a?
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
What line is steeper line 1 or line 2?
Depends on the gradient or slope of the lines.
What characteristic of the contour line shows that the slopes are steep?
The closer the lines the steeper the grade.
What On topographic maps contour lines that are close together indicates?
The steeper the slope, the contour lines go further along the area. You can also determine the flatness of the area with these lines.
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
How do contour lines determine which area of an island has the steepest slope?
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
How can one determine the elevation on a topographic map?
To determine elevation on a topographic map, look for contour lines that connect points of equal elevation. The elevation can be found by reading the numbers on these lines. The closer the lines are together, the steeper the terrain.
Contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper what?
Contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope. The closer the lines are together, the greater the slope of the terrain.
What does it mean when lines are close together on a topographic map?
If the lines are contours - it signifies that the land is steeper the closer the lines are drawn
On a topographic map contour lines that are closer together indicate?
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
How do you contour lines show a steep slope?
How close together the brown contour lines are Yes, the closer the contours the steeper the slope. Flat land, by definition, has no contour lines.
What happens when contour lines get closer?
The terrain becomes steeper.
How close the contour lines are is an indication of an area's?
elevation
What happens on a topographic map the closer the contour lines get?
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
What line is steeper y equals 5x-2 or y equals 3x plus 10?
