What happens on a topographic map the closer the contour lines get?
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
What happens to the contour lines when land gets steeper?
They get closer together.
How do you contour lines show a steep slope?
How close together the brown contour lines are Yes, the closer the contours the steeper the slope. Flat land, by definition, has no contour lines.
On a topographic map contour lines that are closer together indicate?
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
How do contour lines determine which area of an island has the steepest slope?
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
Draw contour lines to depict a steep slope?
You know, when contour lines are closer together on a map, they indicate a steep slope. Just think of contour lines as the distance between each incline. The closer together the inclines, the steeper the hill.
Contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper what?
Slope
Very tight contour lines is?
The closer the lines to each other the steeper the slope.
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 kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
How do you know if your going uphill or downhill by looking at a contour map?
contour lines all ways point up hill or up stream
On a topographic map how do you show a steep cliff?
if someone were to make a topographic map they would mostlikly have a bunch a contour lines realy close together because the closer they are together the more steep it is.so i guess they would make close contour lines then make a drop off
