How is a contour line different from a contour interval?

Answer 1

The contour lines on a map indicate changes in elevation above sea level (or below, occasionally). The amount of change in elevation between lines is shown on the map legend, and will vary depending on the size of the map and the type of terrain.

Answer 2

A contour line represents a specific elevation on a map, connecting points of equal elevation. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines on a map. In other words, the contour interval specifies the vertical distance between contour lines.

Answer 3

Contour Lines are the imaginary lines drawn on a map to join places having same height above sea level.

Contour Interval is the interval between two successive contours.
