Об этой горе
Menengai Crater (2278m) is a shield volcano in Kenya. Grade 1/5: accessible hike. An African peak dominating the surrounding landscape, offering panoramic views across forests and savanna plains.
The topographic contour map of Menengai Crater (2278m) shows widely spaced, gently curving contours reflecting broad, low-angle slopes. Contour lines are drawn at 50m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 250m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 2,278m summit).
Высотный профиль
The east–west elevation profile of Menengai Crater (2278m) shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 2,278m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak.
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 Menengai Crater (2278m) 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.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Menengai Crater (2278m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 2,278m. 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.
Menengai Crater (2278m) 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.
