Topographical Features

Answer 45

Landforms- Land forms studied in topography can include anything that physically impacts the area
Elevation- The elevation or height of the mountains and other objects are recorded as part of topography. It is usually recorded to reference sea level.
Latitude (Flat attitude)- Gives the North/South position of a location in reference from the equator. The equator has latitude of 0 degrees
Longitude- gives the East/West position of a location. Longitude is generally measured in degrees from the Prime Meridian
Contour Lines- Lines that connect points that are the same elevation.*Exact elevation, shape of land, and steepness of land’s slope and never touch or cross. farther apart= gentle, low slope, Lines Close together= steep.
