What do the lines on a topographical map mean?
The lines that connect points having the same elevation are a kind of isopleth called contour lines, or contours.The closer that the lines are on the map the steeper the terrain is.
What are contour intervals and contour lines?
Contour intervals are the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a map. Contour lines are lines that connect points of equal elevation on a map, allowing you to visualize the shape and steepness of the terrain. By studying contour lines and their intervals, you can determine the elevation changes and topography of an area.
Do closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope?
A contour line (also known as isopleth) on a topographic map connects points of equal elevation or depth. The steepest way up or down is in the direction perpendicular to the contour line at any given point. This gradient on a topographic map is at its greatest when the lines are close together, thus the slope is steepest. Note that a contour map does not have to be topographic. Any value mapped in two or three dimensions such as temperature, barometric pressure, or wind speed can have contour lines connecting adjacent points of equal value. Again, moving away from a contour line in a perpendicular direction will yield the greatest change in the value of the quality being recorded.
