Contours show distinct characteristic features of the terrain as follows:
i) All points on a contour line are of the same elevation.
ii) No two contour lines can meet or cross each other except in the rare case of an overhanging vertical cliff or wall.
iii) Closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slope.
iv) Widely spaced contour lines indicate gentle slope.
v) Equally spaced contour lines indicate uniform slope.
vi) Closed contour lines with higher elevation towards the centre indicate hills.
vii) Closed contour lines with reducing levels towards the centre indicate pond or other depression.
