Surface Features in the Geosphere

If contour lines are close together, then the slope is

• gentle

• steep

• flat

• going up and down

When you move from one contour line to another, the elevation

• stays the same
• goes up or down
• disappears
• is below sea level

On a topographic map of a mountain, you walk a longer distance to get to the top when the contour lines are

• spread out
• close together
• going down
• going up

What are the curved lines on a topographic map called?

• contour lines
• contour intervals
• slope
• elevation

The height above sea level is called

• topographic
• contour
• elevation
• depth

Water flows fastest when

• there is a steep slope
• there is a gentle slope
• there is a long distance
• it has to move around boulders

What is the highest elevation on this map?

• Over 320 meters
• Over 450 meters
• Over 220 meters
• Over 380 meters

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
