Question:
The angle in degrees at which a ridge line intersects contours is
The angle in degrees at which a ridge line intersects contours is
Show Hint
Ridges and contours intersect at \(90^\circ\) due to elevation gradient.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- \(0^\circ\)
- \(30^\circ\)
- \(45^\circ\)
- \(90^\circ\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Ridge lines run perpendicular to contour lines; hence they intersect contours at right angles (\(90^\circ\)).
