Topographic Maps

If contour lines are close together, then the slope is

• gentle
• steep
• flat
• going up and down

When you move from one contour line to another, the elevation

• stays the same
• goes up or down
• disappears
• is below sea level

What are the curved lines on a topographic map called?

• contour lines
• contour intervals
• slope
• elevation

The height above sea level is called

• topographic
• contour
• elevation
• depth

What is the contour interval on this map?

• 100
• 10
• 15
• 20
