On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.

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
Two contour lines that are close together show a steep slope?
true
A topographic map indicates that a mountain's slope is very steep by using?
contour lines that are very close together
Why can't two contour lines overlap?
One contour can not cross another because a contour is one exact elevation; if it crossed another contour it would show that it is higher than the second contour on one side, but lower on the other side.
On a topographic map contour lines that are closer together indicate?
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
Contour lines very close together indicate the land is?
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.
What do contour lines that are together indicate?
They show how steep a landform is. A contour line also is a function of two variables in a curve which has a constant value.
Why would you avoid a route where map shows contour lines that are very close together?
When contour lines are close together the land is steep
What arrangement of contour lines shows that the land is steep?
The land is steep if the contour lines are close together
How do you contour lines show a steep slope?
How close together the brown contour lines are Yes, the closer the contours the steeper the slope. Flat land, by definition, has no contour lines.
How can you tell where the slope is steep just by looking at contour lines?
Where the slope is steep the contour lines will come close together.
If contour lines are close together does the land rise steeply or gradually?
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.
What landform is there if the contour lines form a circle?
A hill or a crater.
What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.

What type of topography is indicated by contour lines that are close together?
