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

What do contour lines that are farther apart represent?

How do the arrows on the contour lines help us know in which a creek or river flows?

• The arrows point in the direction of flow
• The arrows point in the opposite direction of flow
• The arrows tell the elevation, not the direction of flow
