Question

how do you think that topographical maps are useful ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Topographic maps are an important tool because they can represent the three-dimensional landscape in two dimensions. A person who can read a topographic map can find out the location of peaks, valleys, ridges and saddles, among other land features. Topographic maps can also show you whether you will be traveling uphill or downhill on a particular road or trail.

• They show us man-made features that we can use to find our way. Man-made features are drawn in black. Roads, railways, power lines - they can be used as "handrails", which are things that can guide you or give you a boundary to your adventure. Trails (shown as dashed black lines) can also provide a more easily navigated path to follow.
• They show us natural water features that we can use to find our way. Water features are in blue. Direction of stream travel can be determined by how the stream encounters the contour lines; the contour lines point upstream.
• They show us heavy vegetation, as areas shaded in green.

• They show us, by looking at the contour lines, where the gradual slopes are and where the steep slopes and cliffs are. The contour lines that are far apart are gradual slopes; the contour lines that are close together are steep. If you are navigating, it is easier to walk on the shallower slope. Other features such as saddles (the place between two peaks) are generally also easier to navigate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Topographical Maps are in many methods-:

1.) A topographic map is a detailed and accurate illustration of man-made and natural features on the ground such as roads, railways, power transmission lines, contours, elevations, rivers, lakes and geographical names. The topographic map is a two-dimensional representation of the Earth's three-dimensional landscape.

2.) Topographic maps are an important tool because they can represent the three-dimensional landscape in two dimensions. A person who can read a topo map can find out the location of peaks, valleys, ridges and saddles, among other land features.

3.) Topographic maps give the user the ability to view a three-dimensional landscape on a two-dimensional map. One who is able to read a topo map can identify the elevation and location of valleys, peaks, ridges, and other land features.
