What do the colors on the contour map of Fiordland Peaks (1683m) 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 Fiordland Peaks (1683m)?

The contour map of Fiordland Peaks (1683m) 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 Fiordland Peaks (1683m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Fiordland Peaks (1683m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 1,683m. 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.

Why does Fiordland Peaks (1683m) have a sharp peak?

Fiordland Peaks (1683m) is a glacial horn, carved into its pyramidal shape by cirque glaciers eroding three or more sides. The angular, converging contours on the map reflect these steep, frost-shattered arêtes.
