Topographic Maps

Question 8 • MOHEGAN - EARTH SCIENCE A

Why would an engineer most likely use topography maps in his or her work?

Answer
A
to find an area used for camping
B
to define a political boundary line
C
to determine the best location for a new road
D
to find the ideal place to hike on a mountain

Explanation

Topographic maps show the shape and elevation of the land, including slopes and valleys. An engineer can use that information to compare routes and choose a location for a new road that is practical to build. The other choices focus on recreation or political boundaries rather than engineering the route.
