Closely spaced
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.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
Contour lines that are evenly spaced and parallel indicate a plateau. The closer the contour lines are to each other, the steeper the terrain; the farther apart they are, the flatter the land. In the case of a plateau, contour lines would likely be spaced evenly and relatively close together, indicating a flat or gently sloping landform.
When contour lines are far apart on a topographic map, it indicates a gentle slope or flat terrain. The spacing between contour lines represents the steepness of the terrain, with wider spacing indicating a more gradual slope.
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
On topographic maps, contour lines that are far apart indicate gentle slopes or gradual changes in elevation. The farther apart the contour lines, the flatter the terrain.

If contour lines on a map are spaced closely together, it indicates a steep slope, possibly an uphill area. Conversely, if contour lines are spaced far apart, it suggests a gentle slope or a downhill area. By observing the pattern of contour lines and their spacing, you can determine the direction of the terrain—whether it's going uphill or downhill.
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
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.
In a steep area, contour lines are closer together, indicating a rapid change in elevation over a short distance. In comparison, in a flat area, contour lines are more spaced out, showing a gentle slope or minimal change in elevation. Steeper areas will have more contour lines packed closely together, while flat areas will have contour lines spaced further apart.
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.
