contour maps (relief maps, <maps by form>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Maps showing elevation and the configuration of the ground by the use of contour lines and usually lacking other detail. For maps that use lines to show the distribution of characteristics other than elevation, use "isoline maps." |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 利用等高線顯示土地標高與外貌的地圖,通常缺乏其他細節。至於用線條顯示標高以外特性分佈的地圖,則稱「等值線圖」。 |
Dutch ..... Kaarten waarop met behulp van contourlijnen de hoogte en de structuur van een bodem worden aangegeven, vaak zonder dat nog andere gegevens worden vermeld. |
German ..... Karte, die mit Hilfe von Konturlinien Erhebungen und die Bodenbeschaffenheit abbildet und in der Regel auf weitere Details verzichtet. Für eine Karte, die Linien verwendet, um die Verbreitung anderer Eigenschaften als Erhebungen anzuzeigen, ist "Isolinienkarte" zu verwenden. |
Spanish ..... Mapas que muestran la elevación y la configuración del suelo mediante el uso de curvas de nivel y generalmente carentes de otros detalles. Para mapas que usan líneas para mostrar la distribución de características distintas a la elevación, use "mapa de isograma." |
