If we were in a plane, Path B --> C is about the same distance as path E --> N. But, which path is the easier walk? 

• B --> C is the easier walk
• E --> N is the easier walk
• B --> C and E --> N are the same walking distance

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

• stays the same
• goes up or down
• disappears

• spread out
• close together
• going down
• going up

What are the curved lines on a topographic map called?

• contour lines
• contour intervals
• slope
• elevation

The height above sea level is called
