contour lines - the closer the steeper, the further , the wider

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

If a topographic graph looks more "bumpy", that implies that the region is more mountainous

So it's the opposite when the contour lines are far apart

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

If you look on the western sides of this topographic map of the United States, you can see more mountains

I would have said it's E.

thesmartone · Answer

You know E as in Geography not history :P

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

but then.. if you're looking at classic topography, closer lines imply steep mountains

what a troll @TheSmartOne

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

@SavineTwist I would go with A. because no lines at all would imply a plain. If they are farther apart, then you would have a gently sloping hill :)
