Question

Examine this map to help you respond to the question:

Answer 1

Answers

1. B  is 80 feet

2. C. is 135 feet

Explanation

In the image of the cartography, a contour line will join points of equal elevations thus the contour interval in a contour map shows the difference in elevation between successive contour lines. Topographic maps use contours to represent the terrain of a region. The darker contour lines on the map are index contour lines.

According to the image, the contour lines passes through 25, and B located between 75 and 100 feet thus the nearest option will be 80 feet Point X is located above 125 feet in the elevation thus the best pick will be 135 feet.

Answer 2

1. B 80  feet

since the contour lines go by 25 B is between 75 and 100 and the only option left is 80

2. C 135 feet

point X is above 125 feet in elevation already and the only option is 135
