They show how steep a landform is. A contour line also is a function of two variables in a curve which has a constant value.
Contour lines which are close together indicate a high slope. (High change in elevation within a short distance.)
Differing heights on a map
Slope
You know, when contour lines are closer together on a map, they indicate a steep slope. Just think of contour lines as the distance between each incline. The closer together the inclines, the steeper the hill.
Lines that are very close together or touching indicate very steep terrain, perhaps even a cliff.
If ur question was "what do circled contour lines indicate?" this shows that there is probably a mountain/hilltop. the more circled contour lines there are inside another the higher it is getting. If ur question was"what do close contour line indicate?" this means that it is steep.
the top of the elevated hill, slope, or mountain.
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
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.
You know, when contour lines are closer together on a map, they indicate a steep slope. Just think of contour lines as the distance between each incline. The closer together the inclines, the steeper the hill.
it connects to the points of Hawaii and Alaska
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
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.
Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map indicate a

On a Topographic map, contour lines indicate connecting points of equal elevation. i think
On a topographical map, a contour line indicates a change in elevation. When the lines are close together, the elevation is changing rapidly.
A contour lines connects points of equal elevation.
