• Centered on Y

• Between Y and Z

• Centered on Z

If the greatest erosion on a mountain will occur where the slope is the steepest, one could locate this portion of a mountain on a topographic map by looking for the area where the topographic lines -

• are closest together.

• are furthest apart.

• have the highest numbers.

• make a closed circle.

Determine the contour interval:

• 5 m

• 10 m

• 15 m

• 20 m

Match topographic map #4 with the appropriate profile.

• C

• D

• E

• F

Match topographic map #3 with the appropriate profile.

• A

• B

• C

• D
