Which direction is the river flowing? ________How many Hills? _______________Contour Interval? _____________Km from A to B __________________

What are the steps to draw a topographic profile

place a piece of paper between the points

mark where every contour line touches the edge of the paper

determine the elevation of each mark

paper on the graph and mark theplace the elevation of each contour line

Using the map and chart below, construct a topographic map profile.

Please match the contour map on the left with the profile on the right.

               Close line =Steep Slope

                                                      

Contour lines bend upstream when crossing a river

                                                      

Depressions are shown by small marks (Hachur lines)pointing inward off the contour line
