The steeper the slope, the contour lines go further along the area. You can also determine the flatness of the area with these lines.

What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?

Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.


What On the topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a?

Contour lines that are close together indicate steep terrain or a rapid change in elevation. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the slope.


If contour lines are close together does the land rise steeply or gradually?

If the contour lines on a topographic map are close together, that area is a steep slope. If the contours have wide spaces in between then the terrain is relatively flat. Many close contour lines mean the elevation is changing rapidly.


What arrangement of contour lines shows that the land is steep?

The land is steep if the contour lines are close together


What does Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic indicate?

Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.


What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?

On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.


How do the contour line on topographic map indicate the slop of the land?

Contour lines on a topographic map that are close together indicate a steep slope, while contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope. If the contour lines form a V-shape pointing uphill, it indicates a valley, and if they form a V-shape pointing downhill, it indicates a ridge. The contour lines help users visualize the shape and steepness of the land surface.


How can you indicate motian slopes are very steep on a topographic map?

The answer depends on what the word "motian" is meant to be.


Contour lines that are widely space indicate what?

If the contour lines on a topographic map have wide spaces in between and are further apart then the terrain is relatively flat. If the contour lines are close together then the terrain forms a steep slope.
