Answer:

Contour lines and their shapes represent the height and slope or gradient of the landform. 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

Explanation:

The slopes can broadly be classified into gentle, steep, concave, convex  and irregular or undulating. The contours of different types of slopes

show a distinct spacing pattern.

Some basic features of contour lines are

° A contour line is drawn to show places of equal heights.

° Contour lines and their shapes represent the height and slope or

gradient of the landform.

° 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.

° Two contours of different elevation usually do not cross each other
