Question 1 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

Which items are used to show elevation, relief, and slope on a topographic map? Check all that apply.topographic linescontour linesindex contourstopographic symbolscontour intervaltopographic intervalindex topography

Answer
A
topographic lines
B
contour lines
C
index contours
D
topographic symbols
E
contour interval
F
topographic interval
G
index topography

Explanation

Contour lines show the shape and spacing of the land, which lets you determine elevation, relief, and slope. Index contours are labeled contour lines that make elevations easier to read, and the contour interval tells you the elevation change between adjacent lines. “Topographic interval” and “index topography” are not standard map features for showing these details.
