Contour lines
topographical map.
On a map, the differences in elevation are best shown using contour lines.
When differences in elevation are best shown using a topographic map. This type of map uses contour lines to represent changes in elevation, with closer lines indicating steeper slopes and wider spacing indicating more gradual slopes. Topographic maps provide a detailed and visual way to understand the variations in elevation across a landscape.
A topographic map shows equal lines of elevation, in set distances which can vary between maps (dependent on the grade of elevation change). elevation,relief,and slope.
A topographic map measures elevation by showing contour lines that represent changes in elevation on the Earth's surface. These lines connect points of the same elevation, allowing users to visualize the terrain and understand the steepness of slopes.

A depression on a topographic map represents a lower elevation area relative to the surrounding terrain. It is typically shown with contour lines forming closed loops pointing towards lower elevation at the center, resembling a bowl or crater shape.
