Expert Solution

Step 1

Topographic maps show the large scale detailed topography of the earth’s surface by the quantitative representation of the relief using the contour lines (lines of equal elevation) and geographic positions. Many colours are used in lines to show various features present on the land surface. Geologists use such maps for identifying the areas which are of their interest.
