Question

Write the features of contour lines?

Answer 1

Instructions :

• Vertical Interval
• Horizontal Equivalent
• Gradient

Answer :

• Vertical Interval
  • Vertical distance between any two contour lines is called vertical interval
• Horizontal Equivalent
  • Actual distance between two points on two consecutive contour lines on a given slope is called horizontal equivalent.
• Gradient
  • Gradient refers to the slope of the land
  • It shows the steepness of the land.
  • Gradient = Vertical Interval / Horizontal Equivalent.
