Question

question 4 of 10
on a topographic map, what do contour lines that are very close together indicate?
a a steep slope
b a gently rising slope
c a good hunting spot
d a housing development

Explanation:

Contour lines on a topographic map represent elevation. When they are close together, it means the elevation changes rapidly over a short horizontal distance, which is characteristic of a steep slope. A gently rising slope would have contour lines farther apart. Options C (a good hunting spot) and D (a housing development) are not indicated by contour - line spacing.

Answer:

A. A steep slope
