Why can you have the same type of contour line above and below sea level?

Contours are lines connecting points of equal elevation on a map. If you have the same type of contour line both above and below sea level, it means that the elevation increase or decrease is consistent. For example, if you have a contour line at 100 meters above sea level and another at 50 meters below sea level, the difference between them is still 150 meters, even though one is above sea level and the other is below.
