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.
Elevations on a topo map are marked with contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation. Imagine walking around a mountain in a circle, never going uphill and never going downhill but staying at the same altitude
The shape of the contour lines can tell you the shape of the landforms in a particular area. For example, concentric circles show a peak, with the smallest circle marking the summit. Contour lines that are close together indicate that the land is very steep, while contour lines that are spread apart show that the land is relatively flat.
hope it helps........
Bonjour,
topagraphical maps are important tools for geographers because they can know all the natural features in that place with the help of those maps
