Contour lines that are closely spaced
What else can I help you with?
Would a steep slope on a topographical map have lines close together or far apart?
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
What represents a steep slope on a map?
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
What do closed circles represent on a topographical map?
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.
How can you determine whether the contour on a tropographic map show a gradual slope?
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.
What type of map provides information on elevation relief and slope of the ground?
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.

What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
What does plateau mean when you are using a map?
a medium elevation of a steep slope
What is indicated when contour lines are far apart on a topographic map?
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.
Do closely spaced contour line indicate a steep slope or gradual slope why?
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.
What is lines show steepness on a map?
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.
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
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.
