The United States Geological Survey uses the same legend on all of their maps to avoid confusion when looking at different maps. If one map used one symbol for a specific geologic type of marker and another map used another symbol, it would be extremely difficult to read the maps quickly and efficiently.

Is a contour interval for a given topographic map always the same?
A contour interval for a given topographic map always the same is true; not false.
Does the compass needle point in the same direction indicated by the magnetic field maximum?
Your compass needle will align itself with the lines of magnetic force at your location. This will diverge from the simple 'earth monopole model' depending on the local magnetic field, and any local geomagnetic anomalies.On most topographic maps, the 'magnetic deviation' and its annual variance will be marked on the map legend. Where i am it is about 25 degrees east of the true magnetic north.
What is a Contour line on a topographic map?
Contour lines represent connecting points of equal elevation on a topographic map.
What part of a map has information on what the symbols on a map mean?
High pressure zone.
What ways can elevation be shown on maps?
The hydrosphere of the earth is always shown in different ranges of blue color. When the color of the water is dark blue or light blue or in some different range of blue it represents the depth of the sea whether it is deep or shallow respectively to the range of blue color from dark to light. Note that shallow does not mean that the sea is not deep but it means that is is less deeper than a deep sea.
How are geological and topographic maps the same?
They consist of landscapes
Is a contour interval for a given topographic map always the same?
A contour interval for a given topographic map always the same is true; not false.
What part of a map contains information on the meanimg of the maps symbols?
the key of the map. Or the map key. they are the same thing

How are topographic maps used to measure erosional features?
I would not consider it so much as "measuring" compared to tracking. These maps can be very useful to show present geographical features. If compared to a map of the same area 30 years ago , from field work, measurements and calculations the approximate rate of degradation of a particular area can be monitored .
Is the digger legend the same as the ANZAC legend?
no
What is a Contour line on a topographic map?
Contour lines represent connecting points of equal elevation on a topographic map.
How do you write word legend?
Just the same as you did - legend
What ways maps are more useful then maps?
maps aren't better then maps because there the same thing
How do you Compare and contrast maps and globes?
how are maps and lobes not the same
How both political and physical map the same?
Political maps show borders, cities, and capitals, while physical maps show topographic features like mountains, rivers, and landforms. Both types of maps can include labels and legends to help explain the information displayed. Additionally, both political and physical maps use colors and symbols to represent different geographical features.
Do all maps have the same amount of real miles on all maps?
no
