What is the elevation between one contour line and the next one on a map?

It depends completely on the type of map and the scale of the map. Look several contour lines above and below the area of interest. Often, the elevation is printed on every 5th contour line. Divide the difference by the number of spaces between the two lines. Example, one contour line says "1000" and the next one with an elevation says "1500". If there are 4 lines in between these two, it is 100 ft per contour line. In some areas, you will need to follow a contour line around the map to track down the elevation of that line. Easier still, check the legend on the side or bottom of the map. The example showing the colors or symbols used may also tell the contour interval if it is consistent for the entire map.

What is the difference between the meaning of latest model and the top of the line?

The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is known as the?
contour interval
On a topographic map the difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is the?
contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line on the map. This interval is typically consistent across the map and can vary based on the scale of the map and the type of terrain being represented.
The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next?
Interval
What is the Change from one contour line to the next?
The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next is called relief. Hope this helped. ;)

What is the difference between a contour interval and an index contour?
A contour interval is the vertical distance between two contour lines on a map, representing the change in elevation. An index contour is a thicker contour line labeled with the elevation of the line above sea level, typically every fifth contour line. It helps users quickly identify elevation values on a map.
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called what?
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.
