Most people are probably familiar with contour lines found on topographic maps, which show elevation. Contour lines can also show weather and climate data, such as temperatures and humidity. Less common, bathymetry (the depth of water bodies) can also be shown using contours.

Contour lines connect points with the same what?
Topographic maps would most likely show the elevation of the Andes mountain range, as they are specifically designed to represent the natural features of the Earth's surface, including elevation changes. These maps use contour lines to indicate the shape and height of the land, making them ideal for showcasing the varying elevations of the Andes.
Not all topographic maps need a contour line that represents sea level because on some topographic maps you can analyze, that the contour line does not start on sea level. There are several reasons for this. One reason maybe that, the mountain or hill is mapped in the middle of an area and not surrounded by water. Zero meters of elevation represents sea level and if it includes 0 meters than that means that land is possibly an island. In other cases, there should be a contour line marked zero, but in some cases there are not.
Topographic maps display elevation of mountains through contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation. They provide a detailed representation of the terrain, including mountain peaks and valleys. Digital elevation models (DEM) are also used to create 3D visualizations of mountainous regions.
Maps can show elevation with contour lines

topographic maps have contour lines that show a specific place...
contour maps are maps that depict contour line. they contain lines of equal heights that are joined together and help to show elevations, terrain shape and many other features of the earth
On topographic maps, contour lines that are far apart indicate gentle slopes or gradual changes in elevation. The farther apart the contour lines, the flatter the terrain.
Topographic maps show elevation, relief, terrain features, and topographic details such as contour lines, streams, lakes, and vegetation.

No, the contour interval can vary between different topographic maps based on the scale and detail of the map. Smaller scale maps may have larger contour intervals, while larger scale maps may have smaller contour intervals to show more detailed elevation changes.
Contour Maps,actually,contour maps measure their elevations.
I think its contour map, donno for sure though
Shading and contour lines are an attempt by the map makers to show the terrain covered by the map.
OS maps use contour lines to show height. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation, allowing users to visualize the shape of the land and estimate the height of specific features such as hills or valleys. The intervals between contour lines indicate the steepness of the terrain: closer spacing represents steeper slopes, while wider spacing suggests gentler inclines.
