Respuesta :
A line drawn on a topographic map to indicate ground elevation or depression. If the contour intervals are closer together, the steeper the elevation.
Answer:
Vertical distance between contours is called contour interval
Explanation:
Contour lines are lines that connects point of equal height. The vertical distance or the difference in elevation between two contour lines is known as contour interval. For example a set of 100 contours is used to represent a hill of height 500 ft. So, the vertical distance between each contour will [tex]\frac{500}{100} \\[/tex]feet
[tex]= 5[/tex]ft contour interval.
