Question

1. lines on a topographic map that denote equal changes in elevation are called ______.
2. steep areas have contour lines that are (far apart or close together) ______.
3. flat areas have contour lines that are (far apart or close together) ______.

Explanation:

Question 26

On a topographic map, lines that represent equal changes in elevation are defined as contour lines. This is a key concept in geography (a subfield of Natural Science) related to map reading and understanding terrain elevation.

Steep areas on a topographic map have contour lines that are close together. This is because a steep slope means elevation changes rapidly over a short horizontal distance, so the contour lines (representing equal elevation) are spaced closely.

Flat areas on a topographic map have contour lines that are far apart. In flat regions, elevation changes slowly over a horizontal distance, so the contour lines (marking equal elevation) are spaced with more distance between them.

Answer:

contour lines
