Each contour line represents a different elevation. If they touched at any point, that would mean that point would have 2 different elevations at once, which doesn't make any sense. They can get really close if there is a steep drop, but they never touch.

They can never cross but they converge as the represented ground steepens, so they touch in appearance on paper when representing a vertical face of height at least equal to the difference between two consecutive lines.
What else can I help you with?
What letter of the alphabet is formed when a contour line crosses a stream?
V
What is line intersect?
A line intersect is a point on a line where another line or object crosses the line.
How are perpendicular lines different than intersecting?
Perpendicular lines are where a line crosses another line and forms 4 right angles on all 4 sides but a intersecting line only crosses another line
Why don't 2 contour line never cross each other?
because the world would explode
Is a point outside a contour line higher or lower than the contour line?
lower.
A contour line that crosses a river makes a?
straight line
What happens when a contour line crosses a river or stream?
When a contour line crosses a river or stream, they make a "V" shape and points to the direction the river is flowing.
What letter of the alphabet is formed when a contour line crosses a stream?
V
What is a perpindicular line?
A perpindicular line is when a line crosses another line. Simple as that :)
Size in the change of elevation from one contour line to another is what?
The size in the change of elevation from one contour line to another is called the contour interval. It represents the vertical distance between each contour line on a topographic map. The contour interval helps in understanding the slope and elevation changes of the terrain being represented.
What is line intersect?
A line intersect is a point on a line where another line or object crosses the line.
What is the imaginary line called that hyperbola never crosses?
The Asymptote
How are perpendicular lines different than intersecting?
Perpendicular lines are where a line crosses another line and forms 4 right angles on all 4 sides but a intersecting line only crosses another line
What are the main topographic map rules?
The main topographic map rules include contour lines never crossing, contour lines close together represent steep terrain, contour lines spread out represent flat terrain, and elevation is indicated by the contour lines.
What does It mean when a contour line is closer to another?
It means the slope is steeper
What is every fifth contour line?
it is a contour line of elevation Control index contour, or just index contour
