What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
How close the contour lines are an indication of an area's what?
The proximity of contour lines indicates the steepness of the terrain in a particular area. Closely spaced contour lines suggest a steep slope, while widely spaced contour lines suggest a gentle slope.
Draw contour lines to depict a steep slope?
You know, when contour lines are closer together on a map, they indicate a steep slope. Just think of contour lines as the distance between each incline. The closer together the inclines, the steeper the hill.
What do closed contour lines indicate?
If ur question was "what do circled contour lines indicate?" this shows that there is probably a mountain/hilltop. the more circled contour lines there are inside another the higher it is getting. If ur question was"what do close contour line indicate?" this means that it is steep.
What determined a steep slope on a contour map?
A steep slope on a contour map is determined by closely spaced contour lines that indicate a rapid change in elevation within a short horizontal distance. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope. A contour line with a higher numerical value indicates higher elevation, so a quick succession of these lines denotes a steep incline.
Why would you avoid a route where map shows contour lines that are very close together?
When contour lines are close together the land is steep
What characteristic of the contour line shows that the slopes are steep?
The closer the lines the steeper the grade.
How do contour lines show steep and gentle?
Contour lines are lines that join up points on a map that represent points on Earth's surface that have equal height. The distance between the contour lines gives an indication of how much the height changes over a horizontal distance. In other words it shows you how steep or gentle the slope is.As such a steep slope will be marked by closely spaced contour lines and a more gentle slope will have more widely spaced contour lines.
What do closely spaced contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
How can you tell where the slope is steep just by looking at contour lines?
Where the slope is steep the contour lines will come close together.
How do lines show steep and gentle slopes?

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.

Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
When does spacing between contour lines tell you?
How steep the slope is.
