Question

What is a Contour? What are its characteristics?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope between them is assumed uniform. The distance between them indicates the steepness of the slope, gentle or steep. Irregular signify rough, smooth signify gradual slopes.

Answer 2

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.
