I chose Amman, Jordan in the Middle East to examine the Topography of that area.
The area in the the white borders show flat lands, but to the Northwest of this area shows more depth to the region which indicate higher levels above ground in this area. The counter lines play a factor in defining these features on the map.
Topography Map:
What
is it?
A
map that has so much detail on it. It shows the depths or mountains, the curves
of the rivers, and the heights and lengths of certain physical features on a
map.
These
maps use methods such as contour lines. Contour lines are lines that use two
variables from a curve to illustrate heights.
