A gully or canyon. Since the lines follow a specific elevation above sea level, the closer lines are together the steeper the slope. And a 'V' formation on the lines indicates a narrow deep area surrounded on both sides by higher elevations, or a narrow ridge with dropoffs on both sides could have a similar shape on the map.
NOT REALLY
It indicates a valley!
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
The lines for depression are called hachured lines
the contour interval
Contour lines.
Contour lines never cross because the elevations can't be two different numbers in one spot.
uphill
A Valley
A valley
It means a small difference in elevation
contour lines all ways point up hill or up stream
Contour lines are oddly shaped because it goes according to whatever its up aganist.
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
contour lines bend in a V shape pointing uphill because it flows the other direction
A valley
The point of the V is probably where there is a stream, river or wash.
index contour lines have numbers contour lines dont
Look for V-Shaped contour lines
