They show how steep a landform is. A contour line also is a function of two variables in a curve which has a constant value.
Contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope. The closer the lines are together, the greater the slope of the terrain.
Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.
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.
A very steep regionClosely spaced contour lines indicate a very steep slope.Conversely, widely spaced lines indicate areas that are nearly flat.-Leftover.Tech
Contour lines represent elevation on a topographic map. Lines close together indicate steep slopes, while lines far apart indicate gentle slopes. Contour lines that form concentric loops indicate hills or depressions, showing a relief in the area.
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
Contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope. The closer the lines are together, the greater the slope of the terrain.
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.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
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.
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.
Overlapping contour lines indicate a steep slope or terrain feature with a rapid change in elevation. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope. It helps to visualize the shape and relief of the land on a topographic map.
it connects to the points of Hawaii and Alaska
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
