On topographic maps contour lines that are farther apart indicate .?
gentle slopes
What does contour lines that are farther apart on On topographic maps indicate?
Little change in elevation, or a low gradient
What do rapid increases mean on a topographic map?
This indicates steeply ascending or descending terrain. The distance between the lines indicates different elevations, so lines that are closer together indicate steep places while lines that are farther apart indicate smoother terrain.
How do you interpret contour lines?
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.
On a planimetric map the tells you the number of inches on the map for every actual mile that the map represents?

How are contour lines shown for a gentle slope?
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
What is the contour like on a map where the relief is low?
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 far apart indicate?
a gentle slope
What is the contour interval like on a map where the relief is low?
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.
On topographic maps contour lines that are farther apaart indicate?
Flat (gently sloped)
How are the contours of the water table different from normal contour lines?
The contours of the water table lines are the same as the contours of other topographical lines. The only indication of water tables might be elevation lines but they are not unique to water tables.
