Topographic Maps Contouring Topographic contours indicating surface relief Image taken from US Army training manual Solid yellow lines represent surface isobars line of equal air pressure Green dashed lines are geopotential heights the altitude at which 500 millibars of air pressure are attained These types of contour maps are used by meteorologists The weather system shown is the Storm of the Century a powerful winter storm called a noreaster. and .

What's the difference between a topographic map and a regular map?. YM . Wang, . S. . Holmes, J Saleh, XP Li . and D . Roman, . National Geodetic Survey. June 22 -25 WPGM 2010 Taipei, Taiwan. Abstract. The spherical harmonic expansion of the topographic gravitational potential has two major advantages over Newtonian integrals: it offers computational efficiency and facilitates spectral analysis of the Earth’s gravity field. The high degree harmonic expansion of the topography helps also in geoid computations.. How long ago were the dinosaurs here? How do we even describe geologic time anyway?.

Normally we think of time in terms of days or years but geologists commonly refer to events that happened millions or billions of years ago. For example earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old.
