Region 3 has a steep slope. This is indicated by the several contour lines that are close together, which represent a rapid change in elevation over a short horizontal distance. In contrast, the other regions, particularly Region 1, Region 2, and Region 4, have few contour lines, indicating more gradual slopes.
