What do the colors on the contour map of Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) 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 Avachinsky Volcano (2741m)?

The contour map of Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) 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.

What does the elevation profile of Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 2,741m. 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 Avachinsky Volcano (2741m)?

At Avachinsky Volcano (2741m)'s latitude (53°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 2,500m. Since Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) reaches 2,741m, about 241m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

Why does Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) have a crater?

As a stratovolcano, Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) 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.

The topographic contour map of Avachinsky Volcano (2741m) shows near-circular, closely spaced contours indicating steep conical slopes. 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 2,741m summit). Above 2,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
