1. In grid square $$DS$$ the contour pattern indicates two principal features:  
   - A well‐defined ridge where the contours are elongated, roughly parallel, and closely spaced along the crest.  
   - A dip slope on one side of the ridge where the contour interval increases less dramatically.

2. The explanation is as follows. In grid square $$DS$$ the “sausage‐shaped” contour lines mean that the land surface has a narrow, elongated high point (a ridge). The fact that the contours run parallel and are closer together along the ridge crest indicates a steeper gradient there. On the opposite side the contours spread farther apart, indicating a gentler dip slope. This combination of features explains why we identify a ridge and its associated dip slope in $$DS$$.

3. In addition to the ridge that crosses grid squares $$CA$$ and $$C5$$, a similar pattern is seen elsewhere. The second ridge appears in the grid squares labeled $$FP$$ and $$FQ$$.
1. In grid square $$DS$$, there are two main landform features: - A ridge where the contour lines are long, parallel, and close together. - A dip slope on one side of the ridge with more spread-out contours. 2. The explanation is that the "sausage-shaped" contour lines in $$DS$$ indicate a narrow, elongated high point (a ridge) with a steep gradient along the crest and a gentler slope on the opposite side. 3. Another ridge is found in grid squares $$FP$$ and $$FQ$$, similar to the one in $$CA$$ and $$C5$$.
