What is indicated when contour lines are far apart on a topographic map?
On a map they would indicate a steep slope And on a synoptic chart they would indicate stronger winds the closer they are. Depends on the differences in barometric pressure between the isobars.
Which has greater ima a screw driver with closely spaced threads or a screw driver with threads spaced farther apart?
a screw with closely spread threads
Contour lines that are far apart indicate?
a gentle slope
What kind of topography does contour lines that are far apart indicate?
Contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope. Because contour lines connect points with the same elevation, wide spacing indicates that the elevation is not changing drastically.
How are contour lines shown for a gentle slope?
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
Why do you think gentle slopes are shown with more widely spaced lines than steeps slopes are?
Contour lines on a on a topographic map indicate elevations. Since elevation changes gently on gentle slopes the contour lines are further apart. Elevation changes rapidly on a steep slope so the contour lines are closer together.
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?
They show a narrow area
On topographic maps contour lines that are farther apart indicate .?
gentle slopes
How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slopes of the land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
On a topographic map how do you show a steep cliff?
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
