Would a topographic map of the Great Plains have a large or small contour interval Explain?
It would have a very large interval, as the further contour lines are apart, the flatter the terrain, and the great plaines are very flat so..

Contour interval
What is the difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side?
The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.

you just have to do 50*12 and that equals 600!
