Question

How to represent a waterfall using contours of Geography​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The important methods of representing relief features are hachures, contours, form lines, spot heights, bench marks, trigonometrical points, hill shading, layer-colouring, and so on. Each method has its own merits and demerits in depicting the relief of the land. Hachures are small lines drawn to represent slopes.

[tex][/tex] How to represent a waterfall using contours of Geography?

Contours are imaginary lines joining places having the same elevation above mean sea level. A map showing the landform of an area by contours is called a contour map.

To represent these landforms in tropographical maps contours are used.

• A waterfall is formed when there is a sudden fall of water over a steep rock into the river bed.
• If we draw contouring of a waterfall, it can be noticed that there is a V-shaped contours in the contouring.
• A sudden and more or less perpendicular descent of water from a considerable height in the bed of a river is called a waterfall. Sometimes a waterfall succeeds or precedes with a cascading stream forming rapids upstream or downstream of a waterfall. The contours representing a waterfall merge into one another while crossing a river stream and the rapids are shown by relatively distant contour lines on a map.
