Each contour line represents a different elevation. If they touched at any point, that would mean that point would have 2 different elevations at once, which doesn't make any sense. They can get really close if there is a steep drop, but they never touch.

They can never cross but they converge as the represented ground steepens, so they touch in appearance on paper when representing a vertical face of height at least equal to the difference between two consecutive lines.

How are perpendicular lines different than intersecting?
Perpendicular lines are where a line crosses another line and forms 4 right angles on all 4 sides but a intersecting line only crosses another line
Why don't 2 contour line never cross each other?
because the world would explode
Is a point outside a contour line higher or lower than the contour line?
