Question

what kind of land feature is shown at point c on this topographic map?

a. a flat area
b. a mountaintop
c. a lake
d. a depression

Explanation:

On a topographic map, concentric closed contour lines with the innermost lines representing higher elevation (no hachures, which are used for depressions) indicate a mountaintop. A flat area would have sparse or no contour lines, a lake is a depression (with hachures or lower elevation contouring), and a depression has hachured contour lines. Point C has concentric contours without hachures, so it's a mountaintop.

Answer:

B. A mountaintop
