Final Exam questions
and answers
contour interval - answer On a topographic map,
tells the distance in elevation between adjacent
contour lines.
contour lines - answer a line on a map joining
points of equal height above or below sea level.
index contour - answer on a map, a darker, heavier
contour line that is usually every fifth line and that
indicates a change in elevation
continuous or closed in lines - answer contour lines
must be...
hills or knob-like elevations - answer circular
contour lines represent...
closed depressions - answer hachure markings
pointing downslope represent...
, steep slopes - answer contour lines are closer
together on...
gentle slopes - answer contour lines are further
apart on...
uphill - answer the "V" points which direction?
valleys - answer contour lines bend uphill or from a
v-pattern in...
they merge on a vertical cliff - answer contours do
not merge or cross each other unless... (dotted
lines)
water depth or glacier surface - answer contour
lines shown in blue represent...
maximum relief - answer the difference in
elevation between the highest and lowest points in
the area being considered.
a benchmark - answer a point of elevation that has
been surveyed - marked with an 'x' or a 'bm'
