Question

WHEN ONE SEES ON LANDFORMS ON A CONTOUR MAP WHAT IS OBSERVER POSITION WITH RECPECT TO THE LANDFORMS?(for example a hill is shown with the help of contour on a map from where do you think you are looking at it?) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Contour lines and their shapes represent the height and slope or gradient of the landform. Closely spaced contours represent steep slopes while widely spaced contours represent gentle slope. When two or more contour lines merge with each other, they represent features of vertical slopes such as cliffs or waterfalls.

Answer 2

• Each contour line represents a specific elevation and connects all the points that are at the same elevation. Every fifth contour line is bolded and labeled with numerical elevations.
• The contour lines run next to each other and NEVER cross. After all, a single point can only have one elevation.
• Two contour lines next to one another are separated by a constant difference in elevation (such as 20 ft or 100 ft). This difference between contour lines is called the contour interval. The map legend gives the contour interval.
