What is the difference in elevation between two neighboring contour lines?

This depends entirely on how close they are, and what number they have written on them.
Sometimes they can be minimal distances apart, in which case they're liable to be quite a substancial gap between the 2 lines, in comparison to them being 4 centimetres apart on the map, in which case it would be a very minimal rise/decline.

What is the name for the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines?
Contour interval.
What is the difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side?
Contour interval
What is the elevation change between two adjacent lines on a map?
Those lines representing elevation on a map are called contour lines. The difference in elevation between two of these lines is called the contour interval. Different maps use different contour intervals based on the scale of the map, or in other words, the size of the contour interval is based on how zoomed in and detailed the map is. Sometimes a map will have darker and thicker contour intervals. This is called the Index Contour Interval. Index contour intervals appear less frequently and represent a larger elevation change. It helps you figure out the amount of a large elevation difference faster because usually they are multiples of 100 or 1000, making them easier to add up.
On a topographic map he difference in elevation between two side-by-side contour lines is called?
Relief.
What is the difference between an outline and a contour line?
The difference between an outline and a contour line is location. An outline is used to draw the outermost form on an object, while a contour line is used to depict details inside the form of an object.
Contour interval is what?
the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines.
What is the difference between a contour interval and an index contour?

What is the difference in elevation between one contour line and?
The Contour Interval.
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called?

Every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?
Every point on a given contour line is at the same elevation. Neighboring contour lines are at different elevations.
On a topographic map the difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is the?
Contour interval
What is the difference between contour lines and relief?
Contour line connect points of equal elevation on a map, whereas relief is the difference in elevation from the highest and lowest on a map.
