If the "contour interval" ... the elevation difference between lines ... is the same

everywhere on the map, then the lines will be closer rogether on steep ground,

and farther apart on flatter ground.

Would a steep slope on a topographical map have lines close together or far apart?

they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area


What kind of slope gives you lines that are close together?

Relief


Contour lines that are far apart indicate?

Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.


Two contour lines that are close together show a steep slope?

Yes, two contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope on a topographic map. The closer the lines are, the steeper the slope. Further apart lines show a gentler slope.


What does it mean when the field lines are close together?

It means that the magnets are closer together


Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?

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.


Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?

No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.


What kind of topgraphy is indicated by contour line that are very close together by contour line that are very far apart?

Lines that are very close indicate a steep change in altitude. Far apart means a slow or gradual change.


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.


Why would you avoid a route where map shows contour lines that are very close together?

When contour lines are close together the land is steep


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

if someone were to make a topographic map they would mostlikly have a bunch a contour lines realy close together because the closer they are together the more steep it is.so i guess they would make close contour lines then make a drop off


What arrangement of contour lines shows that the land is steep?

The land is steep if the contour lines are close together
