Question
Refer to the ma 962 14. (2 pts). What is the contour interval of this map? 15. (2 pts). Which of the points, A through D, is on a hill top? 16. (2 pts). What is the elevation of point D? 17. (2 pts). Wha 18. (2 pts). What is the 19. (1 pt. feet feet t is the elevation of point B (between what two contours does it lie)? elevation of the highest contour shown on the map feet ). The criss-crossing lines on the map are sections lines, and a section is one mile on a side What is the RF scale of this map? 1 BONUS (1 pt). The faint double line running at an angle across the western side of the map on the a real teature visible at the surface-not a boundary What is it?Explanation / Answer
14. The contour interval is 100 feet
15. Point A is hill top. This is because it is represented by closed contours.
16. The elevation point od D is between 700 and 800 feet as it lies between these 2 contours.
17. The elevation of point B is between 1100 and 1200 feet as it falls between these two contour intervals.
18. The elevation of the highest contour shown on the map is 1500 feet.
19. The RF scale on the map is 1:5280. This is because the contours are in feet; a section in map is equivalent to 1 mile and 1 mile = 5280 feet.
Bonus: The faint double line criss-crossing the map at an angle on the Western side of the map represents a dike which is an igneous intrusion.
