Sobre esta montaña
Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) is a fold mountain in the Tien Shan, Kazakhstan. Grade 4/5: technical ascent requiring mountaineering skills. A Central Asian peak in a vast and remote range, demanding long approaches and solid mountaineering skills for the summit.
The topographic contour map of Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) in the Tien Shan shows elongated parallel contours following the ridge axis. Contour lines are drawn at 100m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 500m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 7,010m summit). Above 3,200m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
Perfil de elevación
The east–west elevation profile of Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) in the Tien Shan shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 7,010m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak. The dashed blue snow line at 3,200m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 7,010m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
At Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m)'s latitude (42°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,200m. Since Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) reaches 7,010m, about 3,810m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
Khan Tengri Kazakh (7010m) was formed by tectonic folding, which compressed rock layers into long, parallel ridges. The contour map shows elongated lines that follow the axis of the fold, rather than circular patterns.
