that the land is composed of many mountains
On topographic maps, contour lines that are far apart indicate gentle slopes or gradual changes in elevation. The farther apart the contour lines, the flatter the terrain.

If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
If the contour lines on a topographic map have wide spaces in between and are further apart then the terrain is relatively flat. If the contour lines are close together then the terrain forms a steep slope.
If the topographic lines are closer together it means that it has a steeper slope grade, if they are farther apart, it means that they have a more relaxed slope grade. There is usually a scale on the map that can tell you in exact measurements of the slope.
The contour lines on a topographic map represent the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the terrain. If the lines are spaced far apart, it indicates a gentle slope. The contour interval, which is typically shown in the map's legend, specifies the difference in elevation between each contour line.
Contour lines that are farther apart on topographic maps indicate flatter terrain or gradual slopes. The spacing between contour lines represents the steepness of the land: wider spacing means a gentler slope, while closer spacing indicates a steeper slope.
Relief on a topographic map is shown using contour lines, which represent different elevations. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the terrain, while farther apart lines indicate flatter areas. Relief can also be depicted using shading or hill shading to show the three-dimensional nature of the landscape.
