Each contour line represents a certain elevation, and the difference in elevation between any two adjacent countour lines is constant. So, for example, if in the map area there were a cone-shaped feature, like a volcano, the shape would be shown as a circle in a circle in a circle in a circle (and so on). The more contour lines you cross along a path, the steeper the climb, and the fewer contour lines you cross on the path, the more level it is.
