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.

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.
What does widely spaced lines indicate?
I am very sure that widely spaced lines indicate flatness.
Are contour lines closely spaced or far apart to indicate steep hills?
Closely spaced
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
What does the spacing between contour lines tell you?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
What does the spacing between contour lines tell?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
What do closely spaced contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
Long closely spaced oval contour lines may indicate?
ridges
Why do you think gentle slopes are shown with more widely spaced lines than steeps slopes are?
Contour lines on a on a topographic map indicate elevations. Since elevation changes gently on gentle slopes the contour lines are further apart. Elevation changes rapidly on a steep slope so the contour lines are closer together.
What type of map show altitude of land features?
A topographic map shows the altitude of land features. It uses contour lines to represent the shape and elevation of the terrain. The closer together the contour lines, the steeper the slope, while widely spaced contour lines indicate gentle slopes or flat areas.
On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a?
A very steep regionClosely spaced contour lines indicate a very steep slope.Conversely, widely spaced lines indicate areas that are nearly flat.-Leftover.Tech
How are gradual elevations shown on a topographical map?
Gradual elevations shown on a topographical map by widely spaced contour lines.
What do you expect when you see ten evenly spaced contour lines?
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
