Respuesta :

The answer to your question I believe its D

A graphic illustration that shows geographical attributes in a precise and quantitative layout is called a topographical map. A contour line symbolizes a line on the topographical map that exhibits the height or valley of the Earth.

The correct answer is:

Option D. Contour lines that are close together mean that the elevation of the land is steep.

This can be explained as:

  • In remoter areas, the height changes very fast and the lines become closely spaced.

  • The overlying or closely positioned line shows cliffs or canyons.

  • If the lines are far or wide they indicate that there is a slope.

Therefore, contour lines that are moderately compact together exhibit that land is steep.
