On maps, points of equal height are linked by lines. These are called contour lines. The closer the spacing of these lines the larger the height change over a given horizontal distance on the ground.
Therefore very closely spaced contour lines would indicate that a mountain was steep.
Vertical cliffs may also be marked directly on a map. Please see the related links for examples of how differing height and rock features are marked on British Ordnance Survey maps.
What else can I help you with?
What two colors other then blue are often shown on a map?
It means its a high or steep areaIt means its a mountain
Less steep blue area or orange area on a map?
Blue area are less steep
What does plateau mean when you are using a map?
a medium elevation of a steep slope
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.
What map would you use to know the height of a mountain?
A topographical map will show contour lines and spot heights, with mountain tops marked with their height.
How can you tell what a mountain looks like on the map?
on a map you can tell where a mountain top is by finding what looks like a very ridgy section on the map. hope this helps
Why might you use a contor map?
To find the height of mountains and how steep a mountain is (you mghit use it when hiking).
A topographic map indicates that a mountain and slope is very steep by using?
It uses contour lines which are very close together.
What A topographic map indicates that a mountain and slope is very steep by using?
It uses contour lines which are very close together.
How can you determine whether the contour on a tropographic map show a gradual slope?
You can tell if a landform has a steep or gentle slope by looking at it. If the hill is small, it is not steep. A steep slope would be at more of an incline.
How could you tell a mountain from a plain?
A plain is a flat landform, like you can see in the Midwest. Mountains are huge and steep.
A topographic map indicates that a mountain's slope is very steep by using?
contour lines that are very close together
What does the spacing between contour lines tell you on a topograghic map?
the height of the mountain
What is a Steep mountain resting on the ocean floor?
Face Mountain
What two colors other then blue are often shown on a map?
It means its a high or steep areaIt means its a mountain
How can you tell the highest point on a map?
Look for the spot with the highest elevation contour line and elevation numbers. Typically, the highest point on a map is where the contour lines are closest together, indicating steep terrain.
What represents a steep slope on a map?
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
