Coelho also emphasizes a universal language in The Alchemist, one that all creation speaks. The Earth is alive and has a soul, and all parts of the Earth, from the wind to the sun to the sea to us, are all interconnected as one.
Topographic maps are also commonly called contour maps or topo maps.. In the United States, where the primary national series is organized by a strict 7.5Â° grid, they are often called topo quads (or quadrangles).Topographic maps conventionally show topography, or land contours, by means of contour lines.Contour lines are curves that connect contiguous points of the same altitude (isohypse). In other words, every point on the marked line of 100 m elevation is 100 m above mean sea level.opographic maps conventionally show topography, or land contours, by means of contour lines.

Topographic Maps. Topographic maps use lines and symbols to represent the three-dimensional relief of an area. They denote elevation by the use of marked contour lines. These contour lines also show the shape and locations of mountains, valleys, forests, streams and other features.losed Depressions. Craters and sinkholes are examples of closed depressions. They are shown by using roughly circular contour lines that have Hachure marks inside that run perpendicular to the downhill side of the depression.
