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.
elevation & the unit is in feet
Contour lines are spaced at a regular height above sea level - every 50 metres, for example. The highest point of a hill may be just above the highest contour line. Therefore a spot or summit height symbol may be used to mark the highest point on the map.
lower.
A contour symbol labeled "2500" typically represents an elevation of 2500 units, often in feet or meters, depending on the map's scale. This contour line connects points of equal elevation, indicating that any location along this line is at the same height above sea level. Such contour lines help visualize the terrain's shape and steepness on topographic maps.

The elevation of the highest contour line on hill W is the value indicated on that specific contour line, representing the peak of the hill. On a topographic map, contour lines are used to show the elevation and shape of the land, with each line representing a specific elevation.
A contour is a line that joins points of equal elevation.
It depends how steep the mountain or hill is, usually the contour lines are bolded and is every fifth line. hope this helped
All points on a contour line represent locations with the same value of the variable being plotted, such as elevation or temperature. Each contour line indicates a specific level or value of the variable, and points on the line have that exact value.
No, it is not. A contour drawing is what you are referring to. Contour lines are the latitude and longitude lines on a map to find coordinate points.
An index contour is a thicker contour line that is labeled with the elevation of that contour. It usually appears every fifth contour line and helps to quickly identify elevation changes on a topographic map. Regular contour lines are thinner and connect points of equal elevation.
- Contour lines never cross. All lines on a contour line represent one elevation.- The spacing of contour lines depends on slope characteristics. Contour lines that are close together show a steep slope. Contour lines that are far apart show a gentle slope.- Contour lines that cross a valley or a stream are V shaped. The C points toward the area of the highest elevation. If a stream or river flows through the valley, the V points upstream.-The tops of the hills, mountains, and depressions are shown by closed circles. Depressions are marked with short, straight lines inside the circle that point down slope to the depression.
All of the points along the line are the same elevation. The answer he wants is for novanet..meaning this answer is irrelevant Dx
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
The highest elevation point is represented by a number...number of feet above sea level. At the very top, there is a point/peak. In order to make sense, a contour line has to represent a relative elevation all the way around the circumference of the mountain. The lines are not circles and where they are wavy, this indicates places where the mountain juts out.
Both isobars as contour lines connect points on a map along which values of a given parameter are equal. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation while isobars connect points of equal pressure.
