The disconnected lines drawn on a map for showing slope
Options:
A .  Form lines
B .  Bench marks
C .  Hachure
D .  Contours
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
Hachures are short disconnected lines drawn on the map to depict the slope of the ground surface. They are drawn in rows; each row being disconnected from the other.
They are short and closely spaced for steep slopes and relatively long and widely spaced for gentler slopes. Hachures are not drawn for levelled areas, such as a flat valley or a plateau top.
