On a map they would indicate a steep slope

And on a synoptic chart they would indicate stronger winds the closer they are. Depends on the differences in barometric pressure between the isobars.

On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?

On topographic maps, contour lines that are far apart indicate gentle slopes or gradual changes in elevation. The farther apart the contour lines, the flatter the terrain.


How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?

If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).

What are the main topographic map rules?

The main topographic map rules include contour lines never crossing, contour lines close together represent steep terrain, contour lines spread out represent flat terrain, and elevation is indicated by the contour lines.


On a topographic map how do you show a steep cliff?

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.


How can you determine whether the contours on a topographic map show a gradual slope?

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.


What tells the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines on a topographic map?

The contour lines on a topographic map represent the difference in elevation between two adjacent lines. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the terrain. If the lines are spaced far apart, it indicates a gentle slope. The contour interval, which is typically shown in the map's legend, specifies the difference in elevation between each contour line.
