Contour Building

The Challenge

Contour lines are important for navigation. In many parts of the country, the shape and size of the hills can really help you track where you are on the map. This is especially important when there are no other features to help you get your bearings.

Understanding contour lines are also important to plot a suitable and safe route. For example, it can be often easier and quicker to walk around a steep hill than up and over it. You also will want to plot courses that don’t take you and your family over a cliff or a dangerously steep drop.

Follow the instructions below and share your contour lines to complete the challenge.
