How is height shown on a map? There are three main ways: – Contour lines – join up areas of land that are similar in height – Layer colouring – areas are coloured to show their height. Layers are usually 50m in thickness – Spot heights – the highest point above sea-level in an area. It is shown using a black dot and the height is given in metres. It may also be shown by a blue triangle with the accompanying height in metres

How do I measure distances on a map? Look for a scale bar – use your ruler to work out how many centimetres (cm) for 1 kilometres (km) For example: 2cm = 1 km There are two main ways: – Using a ruler for straight line distances – Using a piece of string or paper to measure curved distances
