Explanation:
Topographic (or contour) maps are the ones with all those weird squiggles and loops. Those strange lines are contour lines, which help show the shape of the land surface. The lines mark elevation — the distance, in feet, above sea level.

Name two kinds of features that can be shown by contours touching each other
Explanation:
- A contour line is an imaginary line which joins all points that have the same height
- When contour lines are very close to each other at times touch one another as they cross a river/stream, it denotes the presence/existence of a waterfall.
- Similarly, if the contour lines are almost touching, which implies it is a vertical slope or could be even a very steep slope. If contour lines merge with each other for a certain length it indicates a vertical wall/cliff/road cutting
