4. while viewing a topographic map, you notice a region in which the contour lines are very close
together. what can you conclude about this region?
o a. it contains a body of water
o b. it's near a political boundary.
o c. it has a high population
o d . it has a steep incline

D . It has a steep incline

Explanation:

A topographic map is a map which is made up of contour lines. Contour lines connect places of equal elevation in a particular region. All the points on a contour line are at the same elevation above a reference surface.

When contour lines are drawn close together, it depicts an area with a very steep incline. This implies that the topography changes very sharply within a very short distance on land. Where contours are far apart, we have a very gentle slope which can be interpreted as a plain.
