How are the contour intervals calculated in meters?

4. What is the contour interval of the map? 20 meters 2. What is the elevation of: Point A? 200 meters Point B? 60 meters Point X? 30 meters. 3. What is the distance from point A to B? 4. The gradient from A to B is 0.0.4 meters 175 100? Feathlees 200. Kam Black Lick Creek 100 Siv Drainaig 5. Black Lick Creek flows (i.e., drains down hill) in what general direction? 0 km inge 200 150 B 200 1 km 2 km 3 km Using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, annotate the figure above. This is achieved by first clicking the "Comments" butto that is usually on the right side of the screen. Then choose "Use Drawing Tool" which looks like a pencil in the menu that opens at the at the top of the screen. 6. Color in (the best you can) the area inside each closed contour that represents a hilltop. 7. (3 pts.) Draw a line to indicate the drainage divide that surrounds the Black Lick Creek drainage basin. This will be graded "harshly" and is worth more than 1 point. You must draw the drainage divide accurately and follow the curves of the contours. Straight lines are never part of a drainage basin. Make sure your divide is clearly drawn through the hilltops (do not just randomly connect the hilltops).
