What do the colors on the contour map of Mount Victoria PNG (4038m) 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 Mount Victoria PNG (4038m)?

The contour map of Mount Victoria PNG (4038m) 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 Mount Victoria PNG (4038m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mount Victoria PNG (4038m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 4,038m. 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 Mount Victoria PNG (4038m) have elongated ridges?

Mount Victoria PNG (4038m) 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.
