Question
Topographic Maps Topographic maps a. show the relations of large features and distant places on a much smaller area. b. represent the complex three-dimensional surface of the spherical earth on a flat piece of paper. c. represent an overhead view of the location of natural and cultural features. d. show the shape of the land using contour lines. e. all of the above. The north direction on USGS topographic maps (as viewed in a normal position) points to the a. bottom of map. b. top of map. c it can be different and depends upon which geographic location you are looking at. d. left side of map. e. right side of map. The following rules apply to contour lines. Which one is not true. a. Crossing a valley with a stream contour lines form a "V" that points downstream. b. All points on a contour line have the same elevation. c. Contour lines which are spaced close together represent steep sloping topography. d. Hachured contour lines represent depressions. e. Contour lines never cross one another. The difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines is called the a. altitude. b. hachure spacing. c. contour interval. d. relief. e. base line. What information is given on a USGS topographic map? a. date of last update. b. contour interval. c. elevation. d. scale. e all of the above.Explanation / Answer
11. The answer is "E", all the options related to topographic map.
12. The north direction on USGS map shown at the "bottom of the map" where the magnetic north declination arrow is at the center, on the sheet.The answer is "A".
13. Contour lines they bend upstream side, and they form "V" Shape pointing up the valley. So the answer is option "A" which is not a true option.
14. "Contour interval" is the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines.The answer is "C".
15. All the above options are correct, so the answer is "E".
