Question
by using a topographic map, you can tell... (choose all that apply)
how steep a mountain is
the natural features of the area
flood plain locations
a contour line that bends to form a v shape indicates a
mountain
volcano
valley
trench
the closer contour intervals are to one another the less step the slope.
true
false
Brief Explanations
- Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation and landforms. Steepness is indicated by contour spacing, natural features (e.g., mountains, valleys) by contour patterns, and flood plains (low-lying flat areas) by widely spaced or absent contours near water bodies.
- V-shaped contour lines point upstream, indicating a valley (where water flows through a low area).
- Closer contour intervals mean elevation changes rapidly, so the slope is steeper, not less steep.
