Hypsometric maps






Hypsometric maps are maps that are related to using contour lines.  They can be used to depict ranges of elevation as bands of color, usually in a graduated scheme, or applied to contour lines themselves. Hypsometric tinting of maps and globes are often accompanied by a similar method of bathymetric tinting to convey depth of oceans.
