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 Mauga (653m) uses a 25m contour interval. This means each line represents a 25m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mauga (653m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 653m. 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.
Mauga (653m) is a shield volcano, built almost entirely from fluid lava flows. The contour map shows widely spaced lines, reflecting slopes that rarely exceed 5–10 degrees — much gentler than a stratovolcano.
