Chapter 10: Representation of Relief Features and Climatic Data — Online MCQ Test

Q: The vertical distance between two consecutive contour lines is called:

Answer: A. Contour interval — Contour interval means the difference in height between adjacent contour lines. It is fixed for a given map.

Q: When contour lines are very close to each other, the slope is generally:

Answer: C. Steep — Close contour spacing means the height changes rapidly over a short distance. This indicates a steep slope.

Chapter 10: Representation of Relief Features and Climatic Data — Important Questions & Answers (FAQ)

Frequently asked questions from Tamil Nadu State Board CLASS 11th GEOGRAPHY — Chapter 10: Representation of Relief Features and Climatic Data, with answers and explanations. These are sample questions; the exam has its own separate question set.

What does a contour line represent on a topographic map?

A. A line joining places of equal height above mean sea level ✓
B. A line joining places of equal rainfall
C. A line joining places of equal temperature
D. A line joining places of equal slope

Answer: A. A line joining places of equal height above mean sea level
A contour line connects points that have the same elevation above mean sea level. It is used to show relief features on a map.

The vertical distance between two consecutive contour lines is called:

A. Contour interval ✓
B. Contour gradient
C. Spot height
D. Bench mark

Answer: A. Contour interval
Contour interval means the difference in height between adjacent contour lines. It is fixed for a given map.

When contour lines are very close to each other, the slope is generally:

A. Gentle
B. Flat
C. Steep ✓
D. Depressed

Answer: C. Steep
Close contour spacing means the height changes rapidly over a short distance. This indicates a steep slope.

Which statement best explains why contour lines never meet or cross each other on a normal topographic map?

A. Each contour represents the same elevation, so crossing would mean one point has two heights ✓
B. Contours are drawn only for hills, not valleys
C. Contours represent rainfall zones
D. Contours are used only on political maps

Answer: A. Each contour represents the same elevation, so crossing would mean one point has two heights
A contour line joins points of equal elevation. If two contours crossed, a single point would have two different heights, which is impossible.

Which of the following is the most appropriate sequence for constructing a simple line profile from a contour map?

A. Draw a line on the map, note contour intersections, transfer them to graph paper, and plot heights ✓
B. Calculate rainfall, draw a bar diagram, and then mark heights
C. Measure latitude, then longitude, then draw contours
D. Identify soil types, mark vegetation, and then sketch slope

Answer: A. Draw a line on the map, note contour intersections, transfer them to graph paper, and plot heights
A line profile is drawn by selecting a line, marking where it cuts contour lines, transferring the marks, and plotting elevations on graph paper. This produces the relief profile.
