What information does a map's contour interval provide?

Most likely you says about contour interval. It's the difference in height between two sequential contour lines. For example, if the contour interval is 50 meters and some contour line corresponds 2000m above sea level, the next contour uphill was at 2050m then 2100m etc. Different maps use different intervals. It depends on map scale and terrain type (for mountain areas intervals are higher than for plains). The contour interval is shown on the map collar (typically near the scale).
