BAHASA INGGRIS= if two successive

contour lines are 75 feet apart, what's the

contour interval for this particular map.

Divide the difference in elevation between

the index lines by the number of contour

lines from one index line to the next. In the

example above, the distance 200 is divided

by the number of lines, 5. The contour

interval is equal to 200 / 5 = 40, or 40-unit

contour intervals.

Individual contour lines on a topographical

nap are a fixed interval of elevation apart

known as a contour interval. Common

contour intervals are 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, or

100 feet. The actual contour interval of a

map depends upon the topography being

represented as well as the scale of the map

Contour line, a line on a map representing

an imaginary line on the land surface, all

points of which are at the same elevation

above a datum plane, usually mean ses

|evel. The diagram illustrates how contour

lines show relief by joining points of equal

elevation.
