When the lines on a map are close together what does that mean?

The lines on the map signify the height of a hill. The closer together they are the steeper the hill. At various points on these lines there may be numbers, these show the gradient of the hill... hope that helps!

A topographic map indicates that a mountain's slope is very steep by using?
contour lines that are very close together
On a topographic map how do you show a steep cliff?
if someone were to make a topographic map they would mostlikly have a bunch a contour lines realy close together because the closer they are together the more steep it is.so i guess they would make close contour lines then make a drop off
What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
On a topographic map contour lines that are closer together indicate?
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
Contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Usually the altitude above sea level. Close lines indicate a steep slope while spread out lines show flatter terrain.
Why would you avoid a route where map shows contour lines that are very close together?
When contour lines are close together the land is steep
What does it mean when lines are close together on a topographic map?
If the lines are contours - it signifies that the land is steeper the closer the lines are drawn
If contour lines are close together does the land rise steeply or gradually?
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.
What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.

Contour lines very close together indicate the land is?
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.
Would a steep slope on a topographical map have lines close together or far apart?
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
What represents a steep slope on a map?
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.

On a weather map high wind speeds are indicated where are spaced close together.?
On a weather map, high wind speeds are indicated where thin lines with arrows are spaced close together. This indicates strong winds and the direction in which they will move.
What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
What do closed circles represent on a topographical map?
The circles are called contour lines. A contour line connects points of the same elevation. When the lines are close together on a map that show the land is steep.
