PPT-Topographic Map Skills

Topographic notes Topographic Mapincludes contour lines drawn to represent changes in elevation Topographic maps take 3 dimensional ups and downs of the terrain and show them on 2 dimensional surface. Lidar-Derived DEMs. Stereo DTM. (Topographic Surface). R. eference image of the traditional stereo-compiled DTM. Built from Masspoints and Breaklines . Much coarser resolution than lidar.

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.

Imagine that the red line represents a geologic contact of some sort. Given that it doesn’t parallel contours we know it isn’t horizontal, and given that it doesn’t cut straight across contours we know it isn’t vertical. Can we tell something about its orientation? .
