As part of the Great Plains of the United States, the topography of the state of Kansas is relatively flat. On the other hand, portions of the state of Colorado are mountainous. Describe how the contour interval and the contour lines might vary on topographic maps of these two states.
a) In Kansas, the contour interval would likely be larger with widely spaced contour lines, indicating minimal elevation changes. In Colorado, the contour interval would likely be smaller with closely spaced contour lines, indicating significant elevation changes.
b) In Kansas, the contour interval would likely be smaller with closely spaced contour lines, indicating significant elevation changes. In Colorado, the contour interval would likely be larger with widely spaced contour lines, indicating minimal elevation changes.
c) Both states would have the same contour interval and contour line spacing regardless of their topography.
d) Kansas would not have contour lines on its maps, while Colorado would have densely packed contour lines.
