Question

1) What elevation is each of the following points on Map 1? (Remember the contour interval is 10 ft.)

Answer 1

A = 70, B = 10, C=20, D=20, E= 30, F=50.

Answer 2

Answer:

The elevations at the given points are as follows -

A= 70 ft ;     B= 10 ft ;    C= 20 ft

D=20 ft  ;     E= 30 ft ;     F= 50 ft

Explanation:

Contour lines are the lines of equal elevation. They never intersect with each other. They represent the height of any particular location from the mean sea level. These contour lines are often used in the maps in order to describe the topography and the relief of an area. They are helpful in studying a map conveniently.

From the map, we can determine that the point B has the lowest elevation and point A has the highest elevation. This depicts that point B is a low lying area and point A is the highest hill area in that region.

Thus, the height (elevation) of the locations are mentioned above.
