• gentle
• steep
• flat
• going up and down

• 10 m
• 15 m
• 20 m

The difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines of a map.

• Relief

• Space in between

• contour line

• contour interval

Gradient means..

• The slope/steepness

• The width

• Contour line

What can you find on a topographic map

• height of a mountain & the gradient/slope

• people

• animals
