What was the first contour line?

Size in the change of elevation from one contour line to another is what?
The size in the change of elevation from one contour line to another is called the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line on a topographic map. The contour interval helps in understanding the slope and elevation changes of the terrain being represented.
Can a contour line on a topographic map connect a point with an elevation of 100 feet to a point with an elevation of 110 feet?
No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
What is every fifth contour line?

What is the difference between and index contour and a regular contour line?
An index contour is a thicker contour line that is labeled with the elevation of that contour. It usually appears every fifth contour line and helps to quickly identify elevation changes on a topographic map. Regular contour lines are thinner and connect points of equal elevation.
What does a contour line indicate when it points downhill?
When a V-shaped contour line points downhill, it means that the contour line is under very low elevation. And incase your wondering about when the contour line is uphill, it means that the elevation level is very high.
