Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contour lines are a form of isoline that are used to represent elevation on maps. They connect points of equal elevation and allow the reader to visualize changes in elevation across a landscape. Rhumb lines are used to indicate constant compass direction, isoamplitudes represent equal wave amplitudes, meters are a unit of measurement and isotherms are a form of isoline used to represent temperature.
