Contour lines represent lines of equal they give us the ability to see elevation represented on 6) contours: the numbers below represent elevations in meters on a landscape. use elevation. mops (ie. 3 dimensional shopes on 2 dimensional paper) cantours are drown at even divisions to make mop reading easier. use this contouring rules to draw contour lines that represent the elevation every 10 meters (le 10m, 20m, 30m, 40 m and so on until contours can't be 5 marks) diagram to see how landscopes are represented on contour maps 30 15 a-ridgeline b-stream & valley c-spur 29 35 20010 52. 2 8 contour lines are interpolated between points of known elevation each line is labeled with its elevation value contours do not intersect or cross unless they merge in a vertical or overhanging cliff closely spaced contours indicate steeper areas, widely spaced contours represent flatter areas. closed contours (ie, circles or ellipses) represent hills. 2 · ·
