A steady incline or decline - constant gradient
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
Hachured contour lines are contour lines with ticks pointing downslope that indicate a depression on a topographic map.
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
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.
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
The proximity of contour lines indicates the steepness of the terrain in a particular area. Closely spaced contour lines suggest a steep slope, while widely spaced contour lines suggest a gentle slope.

Closely spaced
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
The contour lines of the Grand Canyon would likely be spaced closer together due to its steep and rugged terrain. The closer spacing of contour lines indicates a quicker change in elevation, reflecting the dramatic topography of the canyon.
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
Contours for a gentle slope are spaced equally and far apart, the closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
