What else can I help you with?
How do contuor lines help you to determine the area of an island has the steepest slope?
The area with the steepest slope is the area where the contour lines are bunched closest together.
What are Lines having no slope?
Lines with no slope are horizontal lines or flat lines
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
Why do gentle slopes have more widely spaced lines than steep slopes?
Presumably the questions refer to contour lines. If that is the case, the answer is as follows: Contour lines are lines drawn at selected heights on a map. They are lines that join points at the same height above the meas sea level. A gentle slope is one that does not rise (or fall) as rapidly as a steep slope. That is to say, you have to travel a greater horizontal distance to gain (lose) the same amount of vertical distance or height. So, with a gentle slope, you have to travel a greater distance to get from one contour to the next and so the lines are less close together.
How does the slope between two parallel lines compare?
The slope between two parallel lines is identical. This is because parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, and when two lines are parallel, they will have the same steepness, resulting in the same slope. Therefore, the slope between two parallel lines will always be equal.
Two contour lines that are close together show a steep slope?
Yes, two contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope on a topographic map. The closer the lines are, the steeper the slope. Further apart lines show a gentler slope.
How do you contour lines show a steep slope?
How close together the brown contour lines are Yes, the closer the contours the steeper the slope. Flat land, by definition, has no contour lines.
How can you tell where the slope is steep just by looking at contour lines?
Where the slope is steep the contour lines will come close together.
What represents a steep slope on a map?
Steep slope is indicated by topo lines close together.
What landform is shown by many contour lines that are very close together?
A steep slope or cliff is shown by many contour lines that are very close together. The closer the contour lines, the steeper the slope.
What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
Do two contour lines that are close together show a steep slope?
Yes, when two contour lines are close together, it indicates a steep slope. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the slope.
A topographic map indicates that a mountain's slope is very steep by using?
contour lines that are close together. Steeper slopes are shown with contour lines that are closely spaced together, indicating rapid changes in elevation.
What arrangement of contour lines shows that the land is steep?
When contour lines are close together it indicates steep terrain. The closer the lines, the steeper the slope.
What On the topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a?
Contour lines that are close together indicate steep terrain or a rapid change in elevation. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the slope.
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
No, contour lines that are spaced close together on a map indicate a steep slope, while contour lines spaced widely apart indicate a gentle slope.
Would a steep slope on a topographical map have lines close together or far apart?
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
