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 all the points connected by a contour line have in common?
elevation & the unit is in feet
Why is the highest point of a hill represented by an x not a contour line?
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.
Is a point outside a contour line higher or lower than the contour line?
lower.
Could contour lines on a map ever cross?
No because a contour line gets darrker and daarker when it goes from line to line.
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 is a contour on a topographic map?
A contour is a line that joins points of equal elevation.
What is the elevation of the highest contour line on hill w?
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.
How big is a contour line?
It depends how steep the mountain or hill is, usually the contour lines are bolded and is every fifth line. hope this helped
What do all points on a contour line represent?
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.
Is a contour line a single line that describes the outside edge of the object?
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.
What is the difference between and index contour and a regular contour line?
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.
What is the definition of a contour line?
- 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.
On a toptgraphic map contour lines that from a circle indicate?
All of the points along the line are the same elevation. The answer he wants is for novanet..meaning this answer is irrelevant Dx
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
How is an isobar like a contour line?
An isobar is a line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, similar to how a contour line on a topographic map connects points of equal elevation. Both help to visualize patterns and gradients in data.
Why isnt the highest point on a hill or a mountain represented by a contour line?
The highest point on a hill or mountain is not shown by a contour line because contour lines connect points of equal elevation. Since the summit is the highest point, its elevation is not equal to any other point around it, so it is not part of a contour line.
