A topographic profile or topographic cut or elevation profile is a representation of the relief of the terrain that is obtained by cutting transversely the lines of a topographic map. Each contour line can be defined as a closed line joining relief points at equal height above sea level. [ 1 ]
Take a real or invented mountain, model it out of clay, and discover how we can represent it using topography. So what is topography, anyway? It's a field of earth science that involves studying and modeling the surface shapes and features of the earth (and even other planets!).
20 Ιουν 2024 · A topographic profile is a cross-sectional view along a line drawn through a portion of a topographic map. It represents a slice through the earth, showing the elevation changes and physical features along that line.
26 Ιουν 2024 · A topographic map profile refers to a cross-sectional view along a line drawn through a portion of a topographic map. It provides a visual representation of the elevation or relief of the land along the selected line.
Geologists use topography to understand the tectonic activity, landforms, and where to dig a mine. Hikers use topographic maps to find trails and the steepness of slopes to plan their ascent. Astronomers study topography outside Earth like on the moon, Mars, or an asteroid.
2 Μαρ 2012 · Topographic profiles are used to understand what a topographic map is telling you in a specific area (or, you can think about it as giving you a "side view" of the landscape along a specific line on the map).
31 Αυγ 2019 · Essentially a topographic profile is a side image of a topographic map, but the image is only a representation of the area shown on the line on the topographic map (line A-B on Figure 3.6). To construct a profile, you need graph paper, a ruler, and a pencil.
