What is the elevation of point a?
point a has an elevation that is greater than 3350 feet
point a has an elevation that is less than 3350 feet
point a hos an elevation of 3350 feet

Option (1)

Explanation:

The contour lines are defined as the lines of equal elevation. It represents the height of any particular location, with respect to the mean sea level. They never intersect with each other and are the important features in a topographic map.

In the given topographic map, location A and B are given, and by reading the contour and the contour interval, which is given here to be 50 feet, it can be easily concluded that the location A is at a higher altitude, compared to location B. The location A is at a higher contour line, with respect to the contour 3250 feet, mentioned in the left side of location A.

Thus, the height of location A is slightly more than 3350 feet above the mean sea level.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
