Well In School We Are Learning About Topography. I had to do some homework on it. Ita lot of our total grade so I wanted to ask my parents to check. Well it seems they are clueless and cannot help me. Well I was wondering if I post my answers someone could be nice enough to check if they are right :).
7. Index contours can be identified because the lines are deeper and heavier then the regular contour lines.
8. If you are looking at a USGS map of your area and see that the scale is 1:24,000 that means that every 1 centimeter on the map equals 0.24 kilometers.
9. A contour line on a topographic map cannot connect a point of elevation that is 100 feet to a point of elevation that is 110 feet. The reason is because contour lines only connect points of equal elevation.
10. On a topographic map to show an island with an elevation of 80 feet and a contour interval of 10 feet you would have to draw eight different contour lines.

11. A person who snow skies or hikes can use a topographic map to know at which point the elevation is becoming higher. Also the skier/hiker could find out using the map where the steep or gentle slopes are.

well I wish I was an expert in this topic so that I could help you. What I wanted to say was it is very refreshing to see a student making the effort and doing as far as I can see, a very concise job.
