Contour

[keuudeip]

This image takes me to a topic in geography: contour, or contour line, or topography.

Topography is the study of the shape and features of the surface of the Earth and other observable astronomical objects including planets, moons, and asteroids. (Wikipedia: Topography).

In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level.(Wikipedia: Contour line)

A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.(Wikipedia: Contour line)

And here you will find an introduction about Contour Maps:
