Which is the correct difference between outline and contour line?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: An outline shows only the outer boundary of an object, whereas a contour line can also show form and surface variations
An outline separates and identifies an object through its outer edge. A contour line may follow edges as well as suggest the object’s shape, curves, turns and changes of surface. Therefore, option A is correct. Option D reverses the functions of the two lines. Exam tip: remember that contour lines help suggest form and three-dimensional surface changes.
