Topographic Maps
Test Description: Here is a brief review on topographic maps.
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) On a topographic map, the closer the contour lines the
A
gentler the slope
B
lower the elevation
C
flatter the land surface
D
steeper the slope
2) A scale of 1:1000 on a topo map indicates that
A
1 unit on the map is greater than 1 unit in the real world
B
1000 units on the map equals 1 unit in the real world
C
the map represents the entire Earth
D
1 unit on the map equals 1000 units in the real world
3) If the contour interval on a topo map is 10 meters, and one contour line is labeled 50 m
A
the adjacent contour line would represent 10 m in elevation
B
the adjacent contour line would represent 60 m in elevation
C
the adjacent contour line would represent 150 m in elevation
D
the adjacent contour line would represent 20 m in elevation
4) When you observe contour lines with hachures on a topographic map, this indicates that
A
you have crossed a stream
B
the elevation of this area is increasing
C
a depression is located in this part of the map
D
you are entering a mountainous area
5) How are streams indicated on a topographic map?
A
by contour lines that form u's which point upstream
B
by contour lines that form u's which point upstream
C
by contour lines that form v's which point upstream
D
by contour lines that form v's which point downstream
6) On a topo map, how would you determine if a feature was a hill or a valley?
A
a hill would have v shaped contour lines which are close together
B
a hill would have contour lines that are close together and form ovals or circles
C
a valley would have contour lines that are close together and form ovals or circles
D
a valley would have close together contour lines with hachures
7) How would a sink hole be identified on a topo map?
A
by contour lines which show higher elevation at the center of the formation
B
by contour lines with v's pointing toward the center of the formation
C
by contour lines that are very close together and the highest elevation at the center
D
by contour lines with hachures
8) The distance between contour lines on a topo map is called the
A
elevation
B
contour index
C
contour interval
D
gradient
9) A set of circles inside circles on a topo map indicate a
A
depression
B
hill
C
stream
D
valley
10) Calculate the gradient if the change in field value is equal to 100 m and the distance is equal to 50 km
A
20.0 m/km
B
0.5 m/km
C
5.0 m/km
D
2.0 m/km
