Hypsometric Map


\

Hypsometric maps show elevation of land and sea by using different shading techniques. It has also progressed into a 3-D depiction as well. This hypsometric map shows the Aegean Sea. You can see that the deeper the water, the darker the blue is used. Also, as the elevation above water increases, the whiter that area is.
