The movement so described is called diffusion. When particles of regions of higher density move to regions of lower density, they are said to diffuse.

The northeast has higher elevation
Each index contour has an elevation associated with it. When you look at 2 contours, one will have a higher corresponding elevation. As you go from the lower elevation to the higher elevation, you know that the land is increasing in the direction toward the higher elevation. From the higher to the lower elevation, the land is decreasing (sloping downward, decreasing in elevation).
