Contour lines show elevation differences on topographic maps. On other maps, a coloured grid can show changes in elevation (these are called digital elevation models or DEMs).
If it is above the water it is a topographic map.
If it is below the water it is a bathymetric map.
Contour lines are used to indicate elevation. On some style of maps, colour may be used between the contour lines for easier graphic representation.

Elevation lines and contour lines are just different names for the same thing. Both of them show elevation (or indirectly steepness) on a map.

Contour lines show levels of elevation, where there are hills and valleys on a map
Hikers, explorers, land developers, GPS treasure-hunt participants, and civil engineers find them useful.
8 different colors
There are various maps that show elevation. A physical map shows elevation changes with different colors and shades. A topographic map also shows elevation but with contour lines instead of colors and shading. A thematic map may also show elevation, but elevation is usually in the background, and not important to the map itself.

Maps can show elevation with contour lines
The elevation on a topographic map is shown using contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation. These contour lines help to visualize the shape of the land and provide information on the topography of the terrain. The spacing between contour lines indicates the steepness of the slope, with closer lines representing steeper terrain and wider spacing indicating flatter areas.

YES TOPO MAPS SHOW SLOPESRELIEFAND ELEVATION
No, a road map typically does not show elevation. Elevation information is usually included on a topographic map.
