What do contour lines represent on a map?
Think about what it means to be at the same height.
If contour lines are widely spaced apart, the slope is:
Visualize how steep the climb would be.
Given a topographic map with contour lines spaced at 50m intervals, identify the height at which a line labeled (4) would be located.
Count the intervals and multiply by the contour interval.
On a topographic map, you observe circular contour lines narrowing. Explain what this indicates about the area’s elevation and overall slope.
