Contour lines show elevation.
Contour lines show elevation.
Contour lines show levels of elevation, where there are hills and valleys on a map

The heaviest contour lines on a topographic map indicate the highest elevation on the map. These lines represent the peaks of mountains, hills, or other elevated land features.
"contour lines"
Hachured contour lines are contour lines with ticks pointing downslope that indicate a depression on a topographic map.
Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map indicate a
The darker contour lines on map are called index contour lines. Numbers that indicate elevations are often written on these lines.
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
Contour lines on a map represent points of equal elevation. The difference in elevation between any two contour lines is called the contour interval, which is usually indicated on the map legend. By knowing the contour interval, you can determine the steepness of the terrain in that specific area.
