No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
If I understand the question correctly: a contour line of 100 feet will show 100 feet throughout its length. So a contour line of 110 feet will be separate and never touch the 100 line. If the 110 feet elevation is small a spot height may be used instead of a contour line.
Contour lines have a constant elevation level. I took a geology class last semester and had to learn all about contour lines and how to read maps!
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
A contour line is an imaginary line connecting point of equal elevation. Going from one line to an adjacent line is a change in slope.
The lines on a topographic map are called contour lines. These lines represent points of equal elevation above or below a reference point, such as sea level. Contour lines help us visualize the shape and features of the land surface on a two-dimensional map.
No because their not all at sea level.
The rule of "V" on a topographic map refers to the shape created by contour lines when they converge or come together. When contour lines form a "V" shape, it indicates a valley or a depression in the terrain. The point of the "V" always points upstream or towards higher elevation.
it would bend towards the point of origin or where it starts.

A contour lines connects points of equal elevation.
OMG, that was one of my science questions I had. Dang. I failed at it, so Idk the answer. bahahah
Contour lines or also known as isohypses, connect points of equal elevation on a map. Contour lines can be curved, straight or a mixture of both. The lines on a map describe the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes.

No. Every point on a contour line has the same elevation.
Every point on a given contour line is at the same elevation. Neighboring contour lines are at different elevations.

No. Contour lines connect points of equal height.
A contour line (also known as isopleth) on a topographic map connects points of equal elevation or depth. The steepest way up or down is in the direction perpendicular to the contour line at any given point. This gradient on a topographic map is at its greatest when the lines are close together, thus the slope is steepest. Note that a contour map does not have to be topographic. Any value mapped in two or three dimensions such as temperature, barometric pressure, or wind speed can have contour lines connecting adjacent points of equal value. Again, moving away from a contour line in a perpendicular direction will yield the greatest change in the value of the quality being recorded.
