A steady incline or decline - constant gradient
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
Hachured contour lines are contour lines with ticks pointing downslope that indicate a depression on a topographic map.
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
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.
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
Contour lines that are evenly spaced and parallel indicate a plateau. The closer the contour lines are to each other, the steeper the terrain; the farther apart they are, the flatter the land. In the case of a plateau, contour lines would likely be spaced evenly and relatively close together, indicating a flat or gently sloping landform.
Gradual elevations on a topographical map are typically represented by contour lines that are spaced evenly apart. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope. Gradual elevations are shown by contour lines that form gentle slopes rather than sharp changes in elevation.
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
The proximity of contour lines indicates the steepness of the terrain in a particular area. Closely spaced contour lines suggest a steep slope, while widely spaced contour lines suggest a gentle slope.

that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
Closely spaced
A topographic map showing a gradual slope will have contour lines that are evenly spaced and spread out, indicating a gentle change in elevation over a large area. The contour lines will be further apart, and there will be fewer lines to indicate the slope is gradual. Additionally, if the contour lines form shallow V-shapes, it suggests a gradual slope.
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
