Contour Lines Practice
Download as DOC, PDF3 likes3,037 views
The document provides instructions for two contour line practice exercises. For the first exercise, students are asked to draw contour lines at specific elevation levels and calculate the gradient between points A and B. For the second exercise, students are asked to draw contour lines at different specified elevation levels and calculate the gradients between points X and Y and between points X and C. Students are also asked to draw profile views of the cross sections between points indicated on the two practice maps.
