One major problem with this map projection is that

• size is distorted

• shape is distorted

• direction is inaccurate

• the lines on the map are inaccurate

If contour lines are close together, then the slope is

• gentle

• steep

• flat

• going up and down

Why are topographic maps useful?

• They are able to show elevation on flat pieces of paper.

• They are not.

• They show you how to get home.

• They show local trails.
