Maps are extremely useful to Earth scientists to represent geographic features. So, what is a Topographic Map?

Mapping is a crucial part of Earth science. Topographic maps represent the locations of geographical features (hills, valleys, elevation...). Topographic maps use contour lines to show different elevations on a map. A contour line is a type of isoline; in this case, a line of equal elevation.
