Contour lines represent connecting points of equal elevation on a topographic map.
An isoline is a contour line that portays elevation in terms of slopes, pits, and peaks. A contour map, such as a topographic map, shows hills, valleys, and the steepness of various slopes.
The scale of contour lines on a topographic (terrain) map is called the "contour interval".
Each contour line represents a rise in height (elevation). The closer the contour lines are on the map, the steeper is the slope.
A contour line that is bold and labeled is called an index contour line. These lines help to easily identify specific elevations on a topographic map.
To calculate the total relief on a topographic map, subtract the elevation of the lowest contour line from the elevation of the highest contour line within the map area. This difference represents the total vertical distance between the highest and lowest points on the map.

Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
A contour is a line that joins points of equal elevation.
Contour lines show elevation.
the difference in elevation represented by each contour line on a topographic map

its called an index or index conotour line and is every fitth line on a topographic map.
A contour lines connects points of equal elevation.
Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map indicate a
On a topographic map a contour line connects points of equal elevation.....hope that helped
No, elevations of 300' and 350' would not appear on the same contour line isoline on a topographic map. Contour lines represent the same elevation throughout the line, so different elevations would be on different contour lines.
