The average slope is the ratio of the change between two points
If the topographic lines are closer together it means that it has a steeper slope grade, if they are farther apart, it means that they have a more relaxed slope grade. There is usually a scale on the map that can tell you in exact measurements of the slope.
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
Each contour line represents a rise in height (elevation). The closer the contour lines are on the map, the steeper is the slope.
topographic maps show elevation slope and relief. a physical map shows the features of earths landmasses using texture. hope this help!
When contour lines are far apart on a topographic map, it indicates a gentle slope or flat terrain. The spacing between contour lines represents the steepness of the terrain, with wider spacing indicating a more gradual slope.
A topographic map shows equal lines of elevation, in set distances which can vary between maps (dependent on the grade of elevation change). elevation,relief,and 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.

elevation. the closer the lines the steeper the slope.
Hill,Slope or Mountain
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
