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.

A topographic map is a map that shows topography and features found on the earth's surface. Like any map it uses symbols to represent these features.Lets look a section of a topographic map showing the area around Spruce Knob in West Virginia.Spruce Knob is the highest point in West Virginia and, weather permitting, an occasional stop on the Historical Geology (GEO 212) field trip.ike any map it uses symbols to represent these features.
