Question
Using the topographic map, complete a topographic profile. The topographic profile should have no vertical exageration (i.e. VE=1). As well as the topographic profile, use the information on the geological map and topographic map to create a geological cross section. The profile and cross section should be between the points A and B i have marked on the map and highlighted. Work with what you have, i understand it isnt so clear. Just need a rough idea. Thank you!!

Considering the fact that you just need a rough idea regarding the topography of the region, as we go along the profile along the line points AB, we can see that the elevation of the area varies from 140 - 280. These in turn means that the points A and B marks huge difference in the elevation of that given area which is again disrupted by a lot of elevation discontinuities. Also the region is thoroughly disrupted by a flowing river along the elevation of about 200m. Therefore from the overall topography we can say that the region belongs to a mountaneous terrain which is very much disturbed enough by the tectonic forces.
NOTE - THE TOPOGRAPHIC MAP CANNOT BE CONSTRUCTED FOR SUCH MAPS AS IN THE QUESTION YOU HAVE CLEARLY MENTIONED ABOUT A ROUGH IDEA. MOREOVER THE SCALE OF THE MAP WOULD CHANGE ON THE PAPER IF DRAWN FROM AN IMAGE THAT YOU PROVIDED.
