Question

3. Draw a topographic map that displays the following features: (4 points each) A. The contour interval is 20 meters. B. The point of lowest elevation is 960 meters. C. The point of highest elevation is 990meters. D. There is at least one sinkhole or depression, at any elevation. E. There is at least one steep slope and one gentle slope.

Answer 1

There would be only two contour lines, of 960 and 980 m of elevation.

The top elevation is marked with black dot as the peaks usually are.

The depression has special contour line with little lines facing inwards.

The steep slope is where the contour lines are very close to one another, while the gentle slope where the contour lines are very far away from one another.
