contour lines are lines drawn on a map joins point on the landscape of equal values

contour lines are used to tell the relief of the land

contour lines indicate the steepness of a slope
We also use contour lines to figure out the contour interval. The contour interval
is the difference between two contour lines. All maps have a fixed contour interval
for the specific map, as decided by the map maker
contour are a collection of lines found on maps that show mountains, valleys and
landforms. Contours are measured from sea level. If the contours are closely
spaced, it means that the land is very steep, if the contours are widely spaced, it
means the land is more flat. Contours can be used to understand the map and to know
where land will be steep or flat
