Contour lines normally connect areas with equal data values, so may generally be called isolines or isopleths-lines of the same value. Normally, the primary set of contour lines is displayed as a solid line, while the secondary contour is displayed as a &shed line. For example, a standard 850-hPa, 24-hour prognosis chart has height contours in solid lines, temperature contours in dashed lines, and wind speed and direction as plotted data.
Contour lines are lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation. If you walk along a contour line you neither gain or lose elevation. Picture walking along a beach exactly where the water meets the land (ignoring tides and waves for this example).he example at right is a section of a topographic map. The brown lines are the contour lines. The thin lines are the normal contours, the thick brown lines are the index contours. Notice that elevations are only marked on the thick lines.
