Contour Line

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your way across a crowded room at a party without bumping into anyone. Just like you would navigate by moving around people at the same level of congestion to avoid collisions, contour lines on a map guide you around terrain at the same elevation to avoid steep climbs. In both scenarios, whether it's people or elevation, you're connecting points at a consistent level, ensuring a smooth and predictable path without sudden changes.
