2. Equal height from mean sea level
3. Equal rainfall
4. Equal air pressure

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Equal height from mean sea level

The correct answer is Equal height from mean sea level.

• Contours are imaginary lines joining places having the same elevation above mean sea level.
• A map showing the landform of an area by contours is called a contour map.

• Contour lines never cross each other and never joins at one location except Vertical Cliff or overhang.
• All contours on the earth's surface are always closed contours.
• Contours of small spacing indicate steel slope and contour of large spacing indicate mild or gentle slope.
• If some contours are found in a small map or small area then it indicates a pond or hill in that area.
