State whether the following is true or false.
A plateau appears on a contour map as a wide area with few contours surrounded by many closely spaced ones.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

The flat top needs almost no lines because the height barely changes, while the steep edges crowd them together into a dense band. The pattern is distinctive enough to be recognised at a glance once it is known, and it distinguishes a plateau from a rounded hill immediately.
