what does a V-shape on a topographic map mean?
448741
Either a valley (both sides going down to a common 'low point' of the V) or a ridge (both side going up to a common "high point" of the V) depending on which way the V runs in relation to the topo lines.

You're best bet is to think of them as an assembly of right angle parrellelagrams. Then each parrellelagram has a volumn of base x height x width. If they are not of that shape think of them as of that shape anyway.

Contour lines on a map are set at even intervals.  The high points on a hill or mountain are rarely an exact number of feet.  The top would be represented by a point with the elevation next to it.

Unit designation. Sometimes it points up, with a number inside, or down. Even sideways. At far distances, it is hard to tell if a vehicle is from your own unit, since numerical designation couldn't be seen far enough. Having a huge "V" gives you an idea which unit the vehicle belongs to.\n\nThe design might have come from the US Army's 24th Infantry Div. (Mech.) known as the "Victory" division. They painted "Vs" on the side of the vehicle to symbolize this, even on their helmets. In 1990, they were one of the first to arrive in the Gulf and painted their vehicle tan colored. As tradition, they painted the "V" on the side, but a general, noted the simple yet effective recognition feature of the letter "V". Every branch of the armed forces now utilize the symbol, or an alternative.

A hydrograph shows the flow in a stream over time.  The shape might be described as "peak and trough" line graph.  Here's a quick website to look at for an example of a hydrograph:\n\nhttp://mrbdc.mnsu.edu/major/midminn/subshed/sevenmi/vtour/hydrograph.html

use the legend to help u get information from the map\nthe colours will help u too ex, blue for lakes rivers oceans etc

OMGG i dont know, its so confusing now. well remember the map or whatever, its actually a hydrollic sign or something.

I asked this a couple weeks ago:\nTo answer your question:\nVector graphics are composed of curves connected by points, mathematically defined. A circle is four curves connected by four points. A rectangle is four curves, connected by four points. (No, that wasn't a typo...they are considered curves even though they're straight lines. No, I don't know why...math and I never really got along all that well.) When you want to make the circle larger or smaller, the mathematical formula is redefined, and the circle keeps it's perfect crisp lines. Creature House Expression, Macromedia Freehand, and CorelDRAW are three examples of vector programs. These programs are considered object oriented because everything you make, even text, is an object that can be manipulated independent of other objects and the background (which can also be an object if you put something there, such as a rectangle covering the page.) You can arrange them so they are in front of each other, in back of each other, stack them, or group them. Vector programs are also sometimes called drawing programs, while programs like Adobe Photoshop and Procreate's Painter are paint, or raster programs.\n\nA raster program constructs what you see on screen by using pixels. When you enlarge the picture, the only way it gets bigger is for the pixels to get bigger too, and you lose the nice edges. So when you work in a raster program your best bet is to make your picture the size at which you'll ultimately be using it, because you will be limited in how much sizing you can actually do. And that is the beauty of working with vectors! You can work on a 4" object and enlarge it to 4' if you want. And it'll look just as good at 4' as it did at 4".\n\nSou

I think you would find a Mercator projection of the map. It shows true direction even if the shape of the land mass is distorted.

I think you mean "aeronautical" maps. Aeronautical maps are used by for planning flights, etc. Here's a site with some good info:\nhttp://kflog.org/maproom/aeronautical-maps/

A physical map shows physical features, such as mountains, rivers, plains, etc..\n\nA political map merely shows the boundries between administrative units, ie state, countries etc...

A "V-shaped valley"? That's what's offered here:

contour line is  a curve connecting points where the function has a same particular value ..\n\ncontour interval is any space between vertical lines on a topographic map or globe, representing a difference in elevation between the lines. Small contour intervals are used for flat areas; larger intervals are used for mountainous terrain.

maps are really important, infact there is a area of study in math called topology.  Also topographical maps can be created using equations and vectors, you could do some serching on mathworld.com and they have some examples of topographical maps in their functions section

It's called a RELIEF map.

it is flat on a map for one to see it better it is actually the a triangular shape just like an orange

What's the difference between a physical and political map?\n\nAnswer\nExactly what the words say. A physical map shows the physical features of an area; mountains, lakes, rivers, coastlines, and so on. Often the positions of large towns and roads are also shown as reference points and because these are, after all, physical features albeit artificial ones. Physical maps are usually colored according to height or vegetation.\n\nThe political map shows state, county and national boundaries; lines on the map which rarely actually exist on the ground. Colours on a political map represent jurisdictions, reflecting politicl rather than physical characteristics of the area mapped. \n\nAnswer\nthe different is that a physical map is shown to physial feature of an area n a poltocal map ie responible for most the out ine of the map \n\nAnswer\nPysical maps are with pyiscal things like moutians and lakes and political maps show like state cities and boundaries.
