When the lines of the magnetic field are close together the magnetic field is strong. In a region where the line density is high, one says that it has great intensity or strength. Technically, the density of lines is proportional to the magnitude of the field.
The direction that magnetic field line are oriented provides the information on the direction of the field, with the convention that the lines have arrows drawn so the lines exit from the North pole of a permanent magnet, or equivalently, the arrows point in the direction that the North end of a compass needle would point if placed on the line.

∙ 7y agoIf 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.

∙ 6y agoIf the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.

∙ 15y agoThis means the intensity or strength of the field is greater.

What does it mean when the contour numbers get bigger?
On a topographic map when the contour numbers get bigger that means your going up in elevation. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope is.
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
Contour lines very close together indicate the land is?
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.
What does it mean when contour lines merge at certain places?
contour lines don't merge. they may get very close together so it looks like they're merging though, this just means that it is very steep.
What do you expect when you see ten evenly spaced contour lines?
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
What does it mean when lines are close together on a topographic map?
If the lines are contours - it signifies that the land is steeper the closer the lines are drawn

What do the lines on a topographical map mean?
The lines that connect points having the same elevation are a kind of isopleth called contour lines, or contours.The closer that the lines are on the map the steeper the terrain is.
If contour lines are close together does the land rise steeply or gradually?
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.
What does it mean when the field lines are close together?
It means that the magnets are closer together
What does it mean when contour lines merge at certain places?
contour lines don't merge. they may get very close together so it looks like they're merging though, this just means that it is very steep.
What does It mean when a contour line is closer to another?
It means the slope is steeper
What do you expect when you see ten evenly spaced contour lines?
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
When the lines on a map are close together what does that mean?
The lines on the map signify the height of a hill. The closer together they are the steeper the hill. At various points on these lines there may be numbers, these show the gradient of the hill... hope that helps!
What does it mean when the contour lines are far apart?
The land is relatively flat.
