The difference between an outline and a contour line is location. An outline is used to draw the outermost form on an object, while a contour line is used to depict details inside the form of an object.

What is the name for the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines?

Contour interval.


On a topographic map he difference in elevation between two side-by-side contour lines is called?

The difference in elevation between two side-by-side contour lines on a topographic map is called the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line and helps depict the steepness of the terrain.


What is the elevation change between two adjacent lines on a map?

Those lines representing elevation on a map are called contour lines. The difference in elevation between two of these lines is called the contour interval. Different maps use different contour intervals based on the scale of the map, or in other words, the size of the contour interval is based on how zoomed in and detailed the map is. Sometimes a map will have darker and thicker contour intervals. This is called the Index Contour Interval. Index contour intervals appear less frequently and represent a larger elevation change. It helps you figure out the amount of a large elevation difference faster because usually they are multiples of 100 or 1000, making them easier to add up.


Will elevations of 300' and 350' respectively occur on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map?

No, elevations of 300' and 350' would not appear on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map. Contour lines represent the same elevation throughout the line, so different elevations would be on different contour lines.


What is a contor line?

A contour line is a line on a map connecting points of equal elevation or depth. Contour lines help visualize and understand the shape of the land by showing the topographic features like hills, valleys, and plateaus. These lines make it easier to interpret the terrain and plan routes in outdoor activities.

What is the difference between a contour interval and an index contour?

A contour interval is the vertical distance between two contour lines on a map, representing the change in elevation. An index contour is a thicker contour line labeled with the elevation of the line above sea level, typically every fifth contour line. It helps users quickly identify elevation values on a map.
