what is difference between contous interrnal and horizontal equavalent
Answers
Answer:
Contour Interval: The constant vertical distance between two consecutive contours is called the contour interval. Horizontal Equivalent: The horizontal distance between any two adjacent contours is called as horizontal equivalent. while the horizontal equivalent is variable and depends upon the slope of the ground.
Answer:
Explanation:
Interval of Contour
1 It is built on the concept of vertical tiers.
2 Because the contour levels are given on the contour lines, no measurement or scaling is required.
3 The contour interval on a given map is always the same.
Horizontal Equivalent
1 denotes horizontal distance
2 denotes vertical distance The distance must be calculated on the map and converted to actual distance by multiplying by the map's scale.
3 A steeper slope is indicated by a closer distance, whereas a gentler slope is indicated by a broader distance.
