Given the question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 1. The spacing of contour lines shows the slope of the land . Contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope. This is because the elevation changes quickly in a small area. Contour lines that seem to touch indicate a very steep slope, like a cliff. When contour lines are spaced far apart, the slope is gentle. So contour lines help us see the three-dimensional shape of the land. Q: What do contour lines that are close together indicate? Choices: - deep slope - close slope - flat slope - steep slope A:
The answer is:
steep slope
