Elevation
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.
Contour intervals are used to represent changes in elevation on a topographic map. The interval is the difference in elevation between adjacent contour lines. By looking at the contour lines, you can visualize the shape of the land, such as steep slopes, valleys, or hills.
The contour lines on a map indicate changes in elevation above sea level (or below, occasionally). The amount of change in elevation between lines is shown on the map legend, and will vary depending on the size of the map and the type of terrain.
The elevation difference between two side-by-side contour lines is known as the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance in elevation between each contour line on a topographic map.
Not necessarily but yes, it can be. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between successive contours, while a vertical interval is the distance between any two contours. So yeah, it can be the same sometimes.
The name for the elevation difference between adjacent contour lines is the contour interval.
the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines.
Contour interval.
Contour numbers.
The elevation difference between two adjacent lines.
the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines.
The definition of a contour interval is the difference in elevation between two consecutive lines.
The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.

Contour interval
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.
