1. Topographic Maps
In this virtual investigation you will practice reading topographic maps and making topographic profiles. Topographic maps represent a view of the landscape from above. You can use the information from a topographic map to create a cross-section view of a particular region of the map called a profile. A profile can help you better understand the details of a landform such as a mountain.
