Detailed explanation-1: -The closer the contour lines, the steeper the slope. The wider the contour lines, the flatter the slopes. On a hill, the contour lines form circles; whereby the values of their elevation increase from the edge to the centre.
Detailed explanation-2: -Contour lines indicate the steepness of terrain. Contour lines connect points that share the same elevation: Where they’re close together (they never intersect), elevation is changing rapidly in short distance and the terrain is steep.
Detailed explanation-3: -Contour lines, sometimes called “level lines, ‘’ join points of equal elevation. The closer together the contour lines appear on a topographic map, the steeper the slope (assuming constant contour intervals).
