Introduction
Contour lines are used on topographical maps to show how the height and shape of land changes. They are also used to draw cross sections which give a side view of landforms. This presentation demonstrates how cross sections are drawn.
Contour patterns are also used to identify different landforms. This presentation will show you various contour patterns and the features they represent.

What are contour lines?
Contour lines are lines drawn on topographic maps joining places of equal height above sea level.On topographical maps contour lines are the brown lines with the values written in the gaps within the line. Click on the map for a larger version.

Contour interval or vertical interval
Contour interval is the difference in height between one contour line and the next.
The vertical interval for this map is 100 metres.

Cross Sections
Contour lines are used to draw cross sections.
A cross section is a side view of an area or feature.
Cross sections help us to visualize an area.

Drawing Cross Sections 9
Before you begin to draw a cross section imagine yourself walking or driving across the area.
You can do this by reading the contours.
Watch the animation below.

Conical Hill - Contour Pattern
Conical Hill
Conical hills are so called because they are shaped like cones and taper to a point.
The space within the innermost contour is small.
