On a map they would indicate a steep slope
And on a synoptic chart they would indicate stronger winds the closer they are. Depends on the differences in barometric pressure between the isobars.

What on a topographic map the elevation of an area with contour lines that are very far apart is?
nearly flat
How can you determine whether the contours on a topographic map show a gradual slope?
If the topographic lines are closer together it means that it has a steeper slope grade, if they are farther apart, it means that they have a more relaxed slope grade. There is usually a scale on the map that can tell you in exact measurements of the slope.
What happens on a topographic map the closer the contour lines get?
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
On a topographic map relief is shown using what?
countour intervals
What does a contour line measure?
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
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
On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?
They show a narrow area
How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slopes of the land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).

Contour lines that are widely space indicate what?
If 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.
