Q. Which of the following indicates the elevations directly?

View solution

Q. The vertical distance between any two contours is called a contour interval.

View solution

Q. The horizontal distance between two points in two consecutive contours is known as the vertical equivalent.

View solution

Q. For every flat ground, a small contour interval is necessary.

View solution

Q. If the ground is more broken, greater contour interval should be adapted.

View solution

Q. The contour interval should be inversely proportional to the scale.
