PROJECT .au Contour and cross-section skills Wolf Creek Crater was formed by a giant meteorite that crashed to Earth in northern Western Australia many thousands of years ago. It is the second largest meteorite crater in the world measuring 800m wide x 50m deep. Below is a contour map of this crater. It maps what the crater would look like if viewed from directly above. Each contour line joins points of equal height above sea level. The height difference between one contour line and the next, called the contour interval, is always the same within a map. Here it’s 25 metres. To see what the crater would look like if viewed side-on, you need to make a cross-section. Read the instructions to complete the Wolf Creek Crater cross-section below.
