Contour lines that are closely spaced
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
The circles are called contour lines. A contour line connects points of the same elevation. When the lines are close together on a map that show the land is steep.
You can tell if a landform has a steep or gentle slope by looking at it. If the hill is small, it is not steep. A steep slope would be at more of an incline.
A topographic map provides information on elevation relief and slope of the ground. It uses contour lines to represent changes in elevation and features such as hills, valleys, and terrain. Symbols on the map also indicate the steepness of slopes and gradients.

On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
a medium elevation of a steep slope
When contour lines are far apart on a topographic map, it indicates a gentle slope or flat terrain. The spacing between contour lines represents the steepness of the terrain, with wider spacing indicating a more gradual slope.
Contour lines are used to indicate elevation, and are most commonly used on topographical maps. On a topographical map, each contour line indicates a particular elevation, the value of which is determined by a scale indicated on the map. Each contour line might, for example, indicate a rise of 20 feet. The closer the contour lines are to one another, the steeper the slope, since the rise in feet remains constant. Ultimately, as in the case of a nearly vertical cliff, the contour lines can become so closely packed together that they appear as a solid band.
Lines that are close together on a map typically indicate a steep slope or elevation change. The closer the lines, the steeper the terrain. These lines are called contour lines and are used to represent the shape of the land and its features.
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
