Answer:

Map Cross section

Explanation:

The cross-section of a topographic map is usually defined as the side view of the map, where the contour lines are used in order to show the topography of the area and the presence of surfacial features from the side.

Initially, the cross-sectional site must be selected, then a line is drawn. The contour lines lying on this line are plotted and the topography is drawn. The surface features if present any, are drawn on this side of the topography.

This is how the cross-sectional view of an area is obtained.
