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.

On a topographic map where would you locate the contour interval in the margin?
It would be the difference between the two darker lines, or index lines, and then divide the space in between with your difference.
What is the vertical space between lines of text?
In typesetting the space between lines is called lead or leading. The space between letters is keening.
What type of map is accurate over a small area of earth?
A conic projection has a high degree of accuracy for limited areas, so are very good for the smaller areas lime road maps and weather maps. "Earth Science - Geology, the Environment, and the Universe" @ 2005
What other techniques bring the eye to the central figure of jesus in the last supper?
Leonardo used converging lines to create a vanishing point that draws the viewers eye to the space above Jesus
How do you draw pointillist rain?
Depending on the style parallel lines of dots. You can vary the severity of the rain by adding more lines of dots with less gaps or spacing the lines of dots further apart. I would suggest using negative space to make rain if your rain drops are large, like on a window.
What is a counter interval?
the space between contour lines
Why contour line never cross?
Contour line's measure elevation, there cannot be a space with two different elevations at the same time. For example, a hill can be 1,000 feet tall at the summit but not also 5 ft at its summit (unless you're in some parallel dimension). So no, they never cross.

What is a sentence using the word contours?
We follow the contour lines on the map when we go walking so we don't have to clime the hills, lol. The Ford Contour was a motor car produced by the Ford car company between 1995 and 2001. A contour line on a map indicates the height above sea level. CONTOUR was a space probe that failed shortly after launch in August 1992.
What are contour intervals?
Contour lines were first used in the Schiehallion Experiment. This was an experiment designed to find the mass of a mountain, and by calculation, the mass of the Earth!!Contour lines were invented by Charles Hutton, in 1774, as a method of determining (in that case) the volume of the mountain.They are now commonly shown on topographic maps as a method of indicating the shape of the land and the depths of lakes and the sea. The intervals vary according to the need of the map, but common 1:50 000 maps have then indicated every 20 m, with the 100m lines shown slightly bolder.
What purpose does a symbol serve on a map?
Symbols take up less space on a map cluttered with natural features and contour-lines, place names, and so on.
How do you use widely in a sentence?
This space I use it widely.
How closely packed the electric field lines are indicates the strength of the electric field?
true
What are a deep ocean trenches made of?
A trench is a contour in the ground; it is made of space.
What is the contour interval on a orthophoto map?
Contour interval is the actual change in elevation represented by the space between two adjacent topographic "rings". For example, if there is a contour interval of 20 feet, each topographic line on the map represents going either up or down by 20 feet of elevation (and sometimes it's hard to tell which). For convenience, many mapmakers include numbers every four or five lines to tell you what elevation is represented by that line.
Are parallel lines in space coplanar sometimes?
Parallel lines in Euclidean space are always coplanar.
What is the vertical space between lines of text?
In typesetting the space between lines is called lead or leading. The space between letters is keening.
