It means a small difference in elevation
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.
V-shaped contour lines indicate a valley or a depression when the point is uphill. The V-shape of the contour lines indicates that the elevation is decreasing in that direction, forming a valley or depression.
When V-shaped contour lines point downhill, they indicate a valley or depression on the map. When they point uphill, they indicate a ridge or hill on the map.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.

Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
If contour lines on a map are spaced closely together, it indicates a steep slope, possibly an uphill area. Conversely, if contour lines are spaced far apart, it suggests a gentle slope or a downhill area. By observing the pattern of contour lines and their spacing, you can determine the direction of the terrain—whether it's going uphill or downhill.
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map indicate a
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
Contour lines on a topographic map that are close together indicate a steep slope, while contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope. If the contour lines form a V-shape pointing uphill, it indicates a valley, and if they form a V-shape pointing downhill, it indicates a ridge. The contour lines help users visualize the shape and steepness of the land surface.
