The lines on the map signify the height of a hill. The closer together they are the steeper the hill. At various points on these lines there may be numbers, these show the gradient of the hill... hope that helps!
contour lines that are very close together
Contour lines that are close together indicate steep terrain or a rapid change in elevation. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the slope.
Yes, two contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope on a topographic map. The closer the lines are, the steeper the slope. Further apart lines show a gentler slope.
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
if someone were to make a topographic map they would mostlikly have a bunch a contour lines realy close together because the closer they are together the more steep it is.so i guess they would make close contour lines then make a drop off
When contour lines are close together the land is steep
If the lines are contours - it signifies that the land is steeper the closer the lines are drawn
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.
contour lines that are very close together
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
Contour lines that are close together indicate steep terrain or a rapid change in elevation. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the slope.
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly while sparse contour lines mean elevation changes very little.
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
Lines that are close together on a map typically indicate a steep slope or elevation change. The closer the lines, the steeper the terrain. These lines are called contour lines and are used to represent the shape of the land and its features.
Yes, two contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope on a topographic map. The closer the lines are, the steeper the slope. Further apart lines show a gentler slope.
On a weather map, high wind speeds are indicated where thin lines with arrows are spaced close together. This indicates strong winds and the direction in which they will move.
