Why do contour lines not branch?
Because contour lines show the places with same height above sea level, and if they branched, we should instead use another set of contour lines to show a height difference for the place where they should branch, and another to show the same height for the altitude above sea level as the original supposed branch, as if they branched, it would mean that there was a difference in altitude between them.
