Little change in elevation, or a low gradient
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.
gentle slopes
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.
No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
A. The way that contour lines bend when they cross a stream is always upstream. B. Circles that are closed contours signify hills. C. Closed contours with short lines pointing downward are closed depressions and have no outlet. D. Gentle slopes are characterized by lines farther apart, while steep slopes are characterized by lines closer to one another. E. Maximum relief is the different elevations between highest and lowest points in an area.
Contour lines on a topographic map indicate elevation above sea level. They connect points of equal elevation and show the shape and steepness of the land surface. Closer contour lines indicate steep terrain, while farther apart lines indicate flatter terrain.

Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
Contours show the elevation above sea level. The steeper the slope the closer the contour lines. Therefore, on a low elevation the contours will be far apart.
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
