Contour lines very close together indicate the land is?

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.


What represents a steep slope on a map?

Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.


What is lines show steepness on a map?

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.


Two contour lines that are close together show a steep 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.
