Contour Lines Rules
• 1) All points along any given contour line represent the same elevation
• 2) Contour lines never touch or cross • 3) The spacing between contour lines help us determine the
slope. • 4) When contour lines cross a stream or a river they are V
shaped.
19) Index Contour: A darkened contour line used to represent a specific elevation. It help us determine elevation at certain points more quickly. Index contour are evenly spaced for example: every 100 feet or every 200 feet.

Depressions • Depressions represent an area where the land
dips inward.

Activity
• Scenario
• You are an Engineer and you are charged with planning a ski resort. Your resort should have. 1) Bunny Hill: A gentle slope for beginners
• 2) Black Diamond: Very steep slope for advanced skiers.
• 3) A ski lodge where people can see the sun set• 4) A river which flows down the mountain • 5) A depression any where on your mountain.
