Explanation / Answer
1. The direction in travel from A to B is northwest towards southeast. The direction from B to A will be opposite to that of A to B and will be from Southeast to Northwest. The direction of travel from C to B will be southwest to southeast.
2. On seeing the map, we found that there are about 7 different levels of contours on the map.
3. The lowest contour level as seen on the map is 315
4. Highest contour level as seen on the map is 384.
5. SInce the stream will flow from the higher elevation to low elevation areas. Therefore it will from towards north.
6. The contour are pointing towards the north of the stream. Since the direction of stream will always be from high elevation contours to low elevation contours.
7. The maximum elevation at point A will be 328 since we since we see that this point lies between 330 and 327 contour. The minimum elevation at point A will be 327.
8. The maximum elevation at point B will be 386 since it will be greater the 384 contour and the minimum elevation will be 380 the lowest elevation on the elevated area.
9. The maximum elevation at point C will be 358 greater than the 356 contour. The minimum elevation will be 355.
10. The maximum possible relief on the map will be 386 on the elevated area B. Since 386 will be greater than the 384 contour marked on the map.
