if someone were to make a topographic map they would mostlikly have a bunch a contour lines realy close together because the closer they are together the more steep it is.so i guess they would make close contour lines then make a drop off

Answer 2

Steep gradients are indicated on a topographical map by use of gradient lines. The closer together the gradient lines, the steeper the ascent, the further apart, the more gentle the elevation gradient.

Answer 3

Steepness is indicated by how closely the contour lines are drawn. Wherever the lines are closely packed together, there is a steep slope. Where the lines are far apart, there is a gentle slope.
