What do the colors on the contour map of Batura II (7762m) 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 Batura II (7762m)?

The contour map of Batura II (7762m) 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 Batura II (7762m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Batura II (7762m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 7,762m. 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 Batura II (7762m)?

At Batura II (7762m)'s latitude (37°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,800m. Since Batura II (7762m) reaches 7,762m, about 3,962m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

Why does Batura II (7762m) have elongated ridges?

Batura II (7762m) 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.

Batura II (7762m)

Batura II은(는) Pakistan에 위치하며 해발 7762 m입니다, Karakoram 소속, Asia. 이 봉우리는 Fold Mountain으로 분류됩니다.

Batura II is one of the principal summits of the Batura Wall, a continuous chain of 7,000-metre peaks in the Batura Muztagh of the Pakistani Karakoram, and stands at 7,762 metres close to the higher Batura Sar. Its place along a heavily glaciated ridge, above some of the longest non-polar glaciers in the world, makes for a remote and serious objective. It is a Karakoram fold mountain, formed by continental collision. The site rates it grade 5, its most severe classification, fitting for a high and isolated peak seldom visited by climbers. Long ice approaches and sustained altitude keep its ascents infrequent.

The topographic contour map of Batura II (7762m) in the Karakoram 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 7,762m summit). Above 3,800m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.

고도 프로필

The east–west elevation profile of Batura II (7762m) in the Karakoram shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 7,762m. 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 3,800m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
