A contour line joins points of equal elevation
in a map, so that when used in topographical maps, they can show hills, valleys, and slopes.
The principle of contour lines: In geodesy, is each one of the elevation contours which
materializes a horizontal section of the represented relief. The equidistance, altitude
difference between two succesive curves, is constant and its value depends on the scale of
the map and the importance of the relief.
