Base your answers to questions 5 on the topographic map of an island shown below. Elevations are expressed in feet. Points A, B, C, and D are locations on the island. A triangulation point shows the highest elevation on the island.

5. Construct a topographic profile representing the cross-sectional view between point A and point B

Correct Answer: The topographic profile of the cross-sectional view between point A and point B can be graphically plotted by representing the distance between the contour lines along X axis and the elevation represented by the contour lines along Y axis.
