▼

- Draw contour lines at 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, and 750 feet by connecting points of equal elevation with smooth, continuous lines. Contour lines must not cross each other.
- The gradient from point A to point B is approximately 18 feet per kilometer. (Calculation: Elevation difference = 650 ft - 300 ft = 350 ft. Horizontal distance ≈ 19.5 km. Gradient = 350 ft / 19.5 km ≈ 18 ft/km).
- The profile from C to B shows a general downward slope from an elevation of 600 ft at C to 300 ft at B, with minor undulations corresponding to the intermediate elevations along the line.

Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of contour lines worksheet.
