Sobre esta montanha
Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) is a fold mountain in the Hindu Kush, Afghanistan. Grade 5/5: extreme expedition where supplemental oxygen is typically required. A high Himalayan peak demanding acclimatization and alpine experience for summit attempts.
The topographic contour map of Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) in the Hindu Kush 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 7,116m summit). Above 3,800m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
Perfil de elevação
The east–west elevation profile of Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) in the Hindu Kush shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 7,116m. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
The contour map of Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) 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.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 7,116m. 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.
At Kohe Shakhaur (7116m)'s latitude (36°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,800m. Since Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) reaches 7,116m, about 3,316m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
Kohe Shakhaur (7116m) 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.
