Hypsometric Map


Hypsometric Map- A hypsometric map shows the relief features of an area. It is a map that represents the three dimensions of land. This can be done using contour lines, or colors and shaping. This map of Australia uses colors to show different elevations thus giving the map the ability to show three dimensions. http://www.uow.edu.au/~markus/australia.html
