TRUE

Topographic maps demonstrate the shape of the land with the use of contour lines. Contour lines are connecting points of that determine the elevation.

Contour lines far apart means a gradual slope. On the map, the farther the contour lines, the more steady and slow the slope. The closer the contour lines on the map, the steeper the slope.
