Answer:
A) successive contour lines.
B) Contours are imaginary lines joining places having the same elevation above mean sea level.
C) The settlement, clustering in a restricted area of dispersed settlement normally looks like semi-clustered.
D) Linear settlements are shown on either side of the road or river. Scattered settlements are shown in dispersed manner. Scattered settlements are shown as isolated permanent huts.
E) Closely spaced contours represent steep slopes while widely spaced contours represent gentle slope. When two or more contour lines merge with each other, they represent features of vertical slopes such as cliffs or waterfalls.
F) Contour lines are the line on a map joining points of equal height above or below sea level. When contour lines are closer to each other, then slope is called steep slope. When contour lines are further apart from each other, then slope is gentle slope.
