V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.
When V-shaped contour lines point downhill, they indicate a valley or depression on the map. When they point uphill, they indicate a ridge or hill on the map.
The different types of melodic contours found in music include ascending, descending, arch-shaped, U-shaped, and wave-shaped melodies. These contours describe the overall shape and direction of a melody's pitch movement.
Contours lines are oddly shaped because it goes according to how it is shaped.

V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a valley or depression in the landscape. The closed end of the V-shape typically points in the direction of higher elevation.
When a V-shaped contour line points downhill, it means that the contour line is under very low elevation. And incase your wondering about when the contour line is uphill, it means that the elevation level is very high.

Valleys and ridges are important contour features that can be represented on topographic maps using contour lines. Valleys are represented by V-shaped contour lines pointing towards higher elevations, while ridges are represented by U-shaped contour lines pointing towards lower elevations. By understanding how contour lines represent these features, you can accurately interpret the topography of an area.
