Hypsometric Maps

Hypsometric Map
Hypsometric map is used to represent the different elevations of the earth by contours, shading, tinting, or batching. There are different rules depending on the image of which colors and gradients should be used. This example is a digital elevation model that helps cartographers generate the color classes easily, which generate hypsometrically colored maps.
