À propos de cette montagne
Ben Nevis (1345m) is a fold mountain in the Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom. Grade 1/5: accessible hike with popular trails suitable for beginners. Formed by tectonic compression, it displays layered rock strata typical of fold ranges.
The topographic contour map of Ben Nevis (1345m) in the Scottish Highlands shows elongated parallel contours following the ridge axis. Contour lines are drawn at 50m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 250m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 1,345m summit).
Profil d'altitude
The east–west elevation profile of Ben Nevis (1345m) in the Scottish Highlands shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 1,345m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak.
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 Ben Nevis (1345m) uses a 50m contour interval. This means each line represents a 50m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Ben Nevis (1345m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 1,345m. 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.
Ben Nevis (1345m) 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.
