Relief.
The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.

The terms to describe the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts of an area are relief or topographic relief. It is a measure of the vertical difference between the highest and lowest elevations within a specific area or region.
A topographic map shows the physical features of the land, such as elevation, contour lines, and natural landmarks like mountains and rivers. In contrast, a road map primarily focuses on highways, roads, and transportation routes, providing information for navigation and getting from one place to another.
Relief refers to the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points in a specific area, while elevation is the height of a particular point above a reference point, usually mean sea level. Relief provides a measure of the overall topographic variation in a region, while elevation is a specific point's vertical distance above a reference point.
The spaces between the topographic lines are called contour intervals. They represent the difference in elevation between each line on a topographic map.

The name for the elevation between two adjacent contour lines is known as the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between each contour line on a topographic map.
To calculate the total relief on a topographic map, subtract the elevation of the lowest contour line from the elevation of the highest contour line within the map area. This difference represents the total vertical distance between the highest and lowest points on the map.
The contour lines on a topographic map represent the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the terrain. If the lines are spaced far apart, it indicates a gentle slope. The contour interval, which is typically shown in the map's legend, specifies the difference in elevation between each contour line.
A topographic map shows equal lines of elevation, in set distances which can vary between maps (dependent on the grade of elevation change). elevation,relief,and slope.
The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.
The elevation difference between two side-by-side contour lines is known as the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance in elevation between each contour line on a topographic map.
