Cornell Notes V: Topographic Map Notes EQ: How are changes in elevation conveyed on a map? What is a topographic map? What are contour lines? What are contour intervals? How can a person identify a steep versus gentle slope? A map that shows the shape of the land, elevation, and changes in elevation. A line that connects points that are at the same elevation. -Far apart = gentle/flat -Close together = steep The change in elevation between contour lines Look at the space between the slopes
