they would be extremely close where the canyon is but relevantly spaced out before

Would it always be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that are curved?
It would be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that were widely spaced as this represents a shallow gradient / slope.
Based on the weather map where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds?
Where isobars are spaced closest together
What are the differences of a contour line in a steep area than a flat area?
The effect of waves on the shore zone.
Do closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope or a gradual slope?
Steep slope. Each line is a different elevation. The distance between them is an indication of how fast the elevation is changing. If they are close together it means a small horizontal movement will result in a greater vertical change that when they lines are far apart - where you would have to travel a greater horizontal distance to move across the same number of contour lines (to get the same elevation change).
What is indicated when contour lines are far apart on a topographic map?
On a map they would indicate a steep slope And on a synoptic chart they would indicate stronger winds the closer they are. Depends on the differences in barometric pressure between the isobars.
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a?
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
What would you expect to find in an area with ten evenly spaced contour lines?
A steady incline or decline - constant gradient
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

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
When waves are closely spaced together how would you describe the pitch that you hear?
High
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.
Why can't two contour lines overlap?
One contour can not cross another because a contour is one exact elevation; if it crossed another contour it would show that it is higher than the second contour on one side, but lower on the other side.
Where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds based on a weather map?
Where isobars are spaced closest together

Where isobars are spaced closest together
When would we use a contour map and why?
Contour maps show elevation. The contour interval tells what the difference is between each contour line is, so lines closer together means a steeper slope, and further apart means a gentler slope.
What type of tissue would look like large cells spaced closely together with a large nucleus?
epithelial tissue
