The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called a contour interval.
A line joining places of equal height is called a contour line. Contour lines are used on topographic maps to represent elevation and the shape of the terrain.
