a TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP shows the contour of the lines
A contour chart is a map that shows contour lines. A good example of this is a topographic map.

Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
When contour lines are close together the land is steep
An isoline is a contour line that portays elevation in terms of slopes, pits, and peaks. A contour map, such as a topographic map, shows hills, valleys, and the steepness of various slopes.
A topographic map shows the elevation of the Earth's surface using contour lines to represent changes in elevation. The closer together the contour lines, the steeper the terrain; the farther apart, the gentler.
A physical map shows mountains, hills, and plains through shading or contour lines. This type of map uses color gradients or elevation contour lines to depict the topography of an area.
What type of map shows elevations and contours
Contour lines show levels of elevation, where there are hills and valleys on a map
