Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.
The steeper the slope, the contour lines go further along the area. You can also determine the flatness of the area with these lines.
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
countour intervals
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map indicate a

contour lines that are very close together
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.

If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
