How can you tell from a map if a mountain is steep?
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 is the Change in elevation between 2 contour lines?
Some topographic maps show that. Or all you can tell is the closer they are the harder the climb and the further apart the easier.
What does topography tell us?
it is a shape of land, represented on a map by contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.
What do the lines on a topographical map mean?
The lines that connect points having the same elevation are a kind of isopleth called contour lines, or contours.The closer that the lines are on the map the steeper the terrain is.
When does spacing between contour lines tell you?
How steep the slope is.
What does the spacing between contour lines tell you on a topograghic map?
the height of the mountain
What does the spacing between contour lines tell?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
What does the spacing of contour lines tell us?
Contour lines refer to the elevation of a line as it runs through a mapped area. For instance a 1,000ft. contour line might meander through an open field or wrap completely around a hill. On any map the "Contour Interval" is indicated somewhere as 25FT or 50ft. or 100ft. meaning that it will be this distance vertically between lines of the same altitude. In flat lands it may be a long distance between contour lines but on a steep slope they might be crowded close together.
What do the lines on a contour map tell us?
The numbers on contour lines show the different elevations. Lets say one contour line says it has 1450 elevation. That means it is on the highest peak. When you see other numbers, that is just the elevation
How are contour lines drawn on maps?
Contour lines connect points of equal height, and show grades of hills, the closer together the lines the steeper the grade. The map legend should tell you the difference in elevation between lines, this could be in feet or meters
How can you tell where the slope is steep just by looking at contour lines?
Where the slope is steep the contour lines will come close together.

How can you tell from the map which point on the hill is the highest?
Look for the point where contour lines are closest together or where the numbers on the contour lines are highest. This indicates the highest elevation on the hill.
How do you use contour lines?
Contour lines are used in maps to show the elevation and shape of the land. They connect points of equal elevation and help visualize the terrain's features such as hills, valleys, and slopes. By closely spaced contour lines, you can tell steep terrain, while widely spaced ones indicate flat areas.

Do two contour lines that are close together show a steep slope?
why in the hell .. what i tell yall the answer i dont even know it thats why im askin yall.
