Question

Need help with drawing in the contour lines on a map. The contour interval is 5 m.

Answer 1

There's just a bunch of numbers and it says to draw in the contour lines.

Answer 2

ooh upload a pic

Answer 3

Answer 4

its super ugly i know.... :/

Answer 6

Contour interval is the actual change in elevation represented by the space between two adjacent topographic "rings". For example, if there is a contour interval of 20 feet, each topographic line on the map represents going either up or down by 20 feet of elevation (and sometimes it's hard to tell which).

For convenience, many mapmakers include numbers every four or five lines to tell you what elevation is represented by that line.

Answer 7

Right.
So on the map it's going up by 5s. So I started at 10 and connected all the 10s. Im just not sure if I've done it right because it doesn't look like a map at all. It looks like a bunch of random pencil thingies.

Answer 8

No, it's not right as you've drawn it. You need to connect all the multiples of 5, drawing between two data points as necessary (e.g., if you were drawing the contour line for 30 m, it would go between 33 and 28).

It might look something like:
