Skill – C O N T O U R S. What are they and why are they used? Contours are lines joining places of equal elevation above sea level. Contours lines provide.

A Different Kind of Topography:

Year 7. Contour Lines Contour Lines show: 1. Joins equal areas of height 2. The height of the land 3. The shape of the land 4. The steepness of the land.

What is a contour map and how do I read it??

Topographic Maps specialized maps which show the highs and lows (relief) of the Earth’s surface.

What is this? A flat map showing the elevation for one hill.

1. Which of the following is the steepest slope? A B Click on the picture of your choice. C

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer This is the steepest slope as the contours are closest together. Next question

2. Which of the following shows the contours for a ridge? B Click on the picture of your choice. C

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer This does show a long thin area of high land. Next question

3. Which of these are the contours of a round topped hill? B C Click on the picture of your choice.

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer The contours continue up fairly equally spaced right up to the top of the hill giving it a nice round shape. Next question

4. Which one shows a valley? B A C Click on the picture of your choice.

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer Good – you looked at the contour values not just the shape. Next question

5. Which of these shows the gentlest slope? A B Click on the picture of your choice. C

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer The contours are the furthest apart – remember the closer together they are the steeper the slope. Next question

6. Which of the following shows the contour pattern of a cliff? B Click on the picture of your choice. C

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer Yes this shows a 75m high cliff. Next question

7. Which of these shows a steepening slope? B Click on the picture of your choice. C

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer The contours start off more widely spaced then get closer together showing how the slope has steepened. Next question

8. Which of these is a flat topped hill? B Click on the picture of your choice. C

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer There are no contours around the middle of the hill indicating its flat top. Next question

9. Which of these mountains is highest? 125 150 A B 150 .250 C 295 Click on the picture of your choice.

Sorry return to question and try again Click here to return to question

Well done – correct answer For this you had to work out the contour intervals: A – going up in 50m so the highest contour would be 300m B – going up in 25m gaps so highest contour would be 225m C – trig. Point gave you a top height of 295m Next question
