Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contour lines on map B follow the pattern of the elevations shown on the water table map. The lines are closer together in areas where the elevation changes more rapidly (i.e. the slope is steeper), and farther apart in areas where the elevation changes more slowly (i.e. the slope is gentler). The contour lines on maps A, C, D, and E do not follow the pattern of the water table elevations.
