What is a Contour?
A line of equal elevation above or below sea level or a set point.
What are some characteristics of Contours?
They always close on themselves
Never Cross….Except for an Overhanging cliff
Water runs Perpendicular to them
Evenly spaced contour lines indicate a uniform slope
The closer the contour lines are to each other the steeper the slope
Contour lines are in intervals of 1,2,5,10 or 20.
