Detailed explanation-1: -Closely spaced contours represent steep slopes while widely spaced contours represent gentle slope.
Detailed explanation-2: -Straight, parallel and widely spaced contour represents an inclined plane surface. Counter line is the line joining the points having equal elevation. Spacing of the counter represents the sloping of terrain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Concave Slope Contours in this type of slope are widely spaced in the lower parts and are closely spaced in the upper parts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Evenly spaced contour lines indicate a uniform slope. 5. Closely spaced contour lines show a steep slope.
