As the land slopes towards the sea, contours made to plant grass pastures and fodder for dairy cows present better lay out for maintenance and harvest. As much as cows graze more comfortably along contours rather than up or down the slopes, it is also easier to plough using a tractor the same way. With time, these contours form tables that reduce soil erosion. Thanks for asking.
metaphor
A metaphor for a stream could be "a ribbon of liquid silver," emphasizing its flowing and reflective qualities.

yes it is, the subject is the road which is compared to the moonlight.
'The wind is a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road is a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moon, And the highway man came riding- Riding-riding- The highway man came riding, up to the old inn-door.' Verse 1 - The Highwayman - Alfred Noyes
No, a muscled ribbon is not typically seen as an allusion. It is more likely a metaphor or a descriptive phrase used in a literal sense to convey a specific image or idea.
The phrase is a metaphor comparing the lonely, curving road over a desolate moor to a sleek, curled or twisting ribbon, perhaps bright yellow in the moonlight. The Romany people ("Gypsies") are known for their colorful traditional costumes and have a reputation, unearned or not, for being thieves. This excerpt is from the poem, "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes, and tells the tragic love story of a robber and his sweetheart.
Yes it is :]
A classic metaphor from Shakespeare is the following, suggesting a theatre stage as a metaphor for the human world: : All the world's a stage, : And all the men and women merely players; : They have their exits and their entrances. A more modern everyday metaphor would be "The road ahead was a ribbon of moonlight" or "John is my knight in shining armour"
"I'll burn that bridge when I get to it." "It's been a hard day's night." "The river was a ribbon of death."
A 40000 meter ribbon would not fully encircle the earth. 40000 meters is approximately 25 miles.
