Question 1

Relief and Map Interpretation

A Topographic map shows a conical hill with evenly spaced contour lines. Which deductions can be made?
i. The slope is uniform
ii. The hill is likely volcanic in origin
iii. The gradient is steep throughout
iv. The summit is flat

  1. A.i & ii only
  2. B.i only
  3. C.i, ii & iii
  4. D.ii & iv only
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (i only)

Explanation

Evenly spaced contours show only that the slope is uniform; they do not prove a volcanic origin or a steep gradient, and a flat summit would show as a wide gap at the top.
