A topographic map is one that?

Answer 1

A topographic map is one that shows elevations of different points in a region. The most common method is via contour lines. The contour line connects points that have the same elevation, with lines occurring at consistent altitude intervals. The lines would typically be labeled with their elevations, or else they might be color coded. So a mountain, for example, would appear as a series of roughly concentric closed curves. The steeper the grade, the closer together the contour lines would be, because the elevation is changing more rapidly.

Answer 2

"Topographic maps are a variety of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines in modern mapping, but historically using a variety of methods. Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both natural and man-made features, but the representation of relief is popularly held to define the genre, such that even small-scale maps showing relief are commonly called "topographic."

Answer 3

Shows elevation contours of the land. The map legend will say what the intervals of elevation contour lines are. If lines are close together: steep cliff. spread out gentle hill. Every so often a number will be written on the line indicating actual elevation above sea level in feet..

Answer 4

shows the contours of the land by use of contour lines and varying colours. It also details waterways, wells, mines, and towers as well as locations of note or interest.

Answer 5

shown elevation on a map.

Answer 6

shows depth
