What do the colors on the contour map of Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) mean?

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.

What is the contour interval for Ichinsky Volcano (3621m)?

The contour map of Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) 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.

What does the elevation profile of Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,621m. 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.

What is the snow line on Ichinsky Volcano (3621m)?

At Ichinsky Volcano (3621m)'s latitude (56°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 2,500m. Since Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) reaches 3,621m, about 1,121m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

Why does Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) have a crater?

As a stratovolcano, Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) was built by alternating layers of lava and ash. The summit crater is visible on the contour map as a small depression within the tightly spaced concentric contours near the peak.

समोच्च मानचित्र

The topographic contour map of Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) shows near-circular, closely spaced contours indicating steep conical slopes. 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 3,621m summit). Above 2,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.

ऊँचाई प्रोफ़ाइल

The east–west elevation profile of Ichinsky Volcano (3621m) shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 3,621m. 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 2,500m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
