Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between any two adjacent contour lines is called Contour interval (CI) .

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL !!! : )

Answer 2

Answer:

The horizontal distance between any two adjacent contour lines is called horizontal equivalent.

Explanation:

Contour line:

• A contour line is an imaginary line drawn on a topographic map.
• Contour line indicate ground elevation or depression and the shape of the terrain.
• For certain elevations, the lines are evenly spaced and the spacing is called the contour interval.
• Thus a contour interval defines the vertical distance or difference in elevation between contour lines.
• The horizontal distance between any two continuous contour lines is known as the horizontal equivalent.
• Horizontal equivalent is not constant and varies according to the slope of the ground.
• For a counter interval, the nature of terrain defines the horizontal equivalent.
• At steeper slopes, the horizontal equivalent is narrow while at flat slopes, it is wide.

So, the horizontal distance between any two adjacent contour lines is called horizontal equivalent.

So, the correct answer is option 3.
