G4-U6-L3-Quiz 2

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

The height above sea level is called

• topographic
• contour
• elevation
• depth

Define this word:

Contour Line

• A line joining points of equal elevation above a given level

• A line joining points of unequal elevation above a given level

• A line that is connected and doesn't mean anything

• A line that isn't connected that has points of equal elevation.

Steep slopes are indicated by...

• Contour lines that cross each other

• Contour lines that are different colors

• Contour lines that are further apart

• Contour lines being close together

Answer explanation

The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope!

Which sentence is true ?

• The higher the elevation, the steeper the area.

• The more space between the lines, the steeper the area.

• The less space between the lines, the steeper the area.

• The lower the elevation, the steeper the area.
