Question

What is the difference between Hachures and Hill Shading?

Hint:

Hachures use line thickness, while Hill Shading uses light and shadow to represent slopes.

Answer 1

Hachures: - Hachures are short lines drawn to represent slope direction. - They are drawn perpendicular to contour lines and indicate steepness with thicker and closely spaced lines.

Hill Shading: - Hill shading uses light and shadow effects to give a three-dimensional appearance to hills. - It visually represents the shape of landforms by adding shades on one side and light on the other.
