Question

Circular contours drawn at regular distances with increase in value towards its center represent a ______________.

• A. steep slope
• B. gentle slope
• C. hill
• D. valley

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

hill

Circular contours drawn at regular distances with increase in value towards its center represent a hill.

Contour lines can indicate the slope of the land. Closely-spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope, because elevation changes quickly in a small area. In contrast, broadly spaced contour lines indicate a shallow slope.
