How is elevation shown on a topographic map?intermediate contoursindex contourscontour intervalscontour lines

Elevation on a topographic map is represented by contour lines. Each line connects points that are at the same elevation, so the pattern of lines shows the shape and height of the land. Index contours and intermediate contours are types of contour lines, while a contour interval is the elevation difference between adjacent lines.
