Contour lines or also known as isohypses, connect points of equal elevation on a map. Contour lines can be curved, straight or a mixture of both. The lines on a map describe the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes.

On a topographic map a contour line connects points of equal elevation.....hope that helped
A contour lines connects points of equal elevation.
A contour line on a topographic map represents a specific elevation above sea level. It connects points of equal elevation and helps to show the shape of the land, such as hills, valleys, and slopes. The spacing between contour lines indicates the steepness of the terrain.
lines of equal elevation are called contour lines.
A contour is a line that joins points of equal elevation.
To determine elevation on a topographic map, look for contour lines that connect points of equal elevation. The elevation can be found by reading the numbers on these lines. The closer the lines are together, the steeper the terrain.

Both isobars as contour lines connect points on a map along which values of a given parameter are equal. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation while isobars connect points of equal pressure.
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
The are called Contour Lines.
