a ridge a valley g oing uphill closer contours steeper slope contours farther apart shallower slope Imagine that the red line represents a geologic contact of some sort Given that it doesnt parallel contours we know it isnt horizontal and given that it doesnt cut straight across contours we know it isnt vertical Can we tell something about its orientation . a ridge. a valley. g. oing uphill. closer . contours. = steeper slope. contours farther apart = shallower slope. 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? . 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.
