Question

Question F&G The slope between X and Y does not appear to be the steepest slope in the area. Circle the area on the map that has the steepest slope over an elevation change of at least 80 feet./ There is no need to walk...

A Construct a topographic profile for section line A-A' in the profile box (Fig A8.31). The profile box represents a vertical plane along line A-A through the ground surface 0 2-4 2000 ft Contour interval 20 t 800 800 750 750 700 700 profile box vertical scale is diffferent than horizontal scale Figure A8.3.1 What is the vertical exaggeration of the topographic profile that you constructed aboer Show your work. C REFLECT&DISCUSS; Why is it important to always know the vertical exaggeration of a topographic profile?

Explanation / Answer

F) As points Eand F are not mentioned but the steepest slope is along A ( from contour 800 to 700), because of the fact that if the spacing between the two contours is less then the slope is steep and if spacing is larger then the slope will be gentler.

G) there are two contours mentioned in this section i.e, 700 and 800 if we follow the path of 700 contour instead of 800 then the slope will be gentle.
