Discussion
Consider the following statements about reading relief.
1. A V in the contours pointing uphill indicates a valley.
2. A saddle appears as an hourglass pattern of contours.
3. Closed contours always indicate a summit.
Answer: A
The first two are correct. The third ignores the hachured depression contour, which is also a closed loop but encloses ground falling inwards rather than rising. The inward ticks are the only thing that separates a crater from a hilltop on the sheet.
