a gentle slope
Where do hikers find contour maps most useful?
Areas with variable topography (i.e. hills, cliffs, valleys). In places with swift elevation changes or even just hills. These kinds of conditions are shown on the map by the contour lines. When the lines are close together the topography is steep when the lines are further apart the topography is not steep.
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?

On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?

Are contour lines closely spaced or far apart to indicate steep hills?

gentle slopes
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.
In a map closely spaced oval contour lines may indicate what?
They would indicate either a sudden increase or decrease in elevation, which could mean a hill, mountain, or depression in topography.
What do the numbers on index contour lines indicate?
