And in contour plots of mathematical surfaces, level curves represent values of z greater than, equal to, These level curves and gradient vector fields are slowly building an outline of a surface in \( \mathbb{R}^3\) However, we are still lacking a way of connecting the curves and the arrows How would one follow the vectors to get from one level curve to the next?The level curves in a contour plot represent vertical distances above or below a reference value In topographic maps, level curves represent elevations above sealevel;
