What do the colors on the contour map of Mount Frissell (725m) 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 Frissell (725m)?

The contour map of Mount Frissell (725m) 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.

What does the elevation profile of Mount Frissell (725m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mount Frissell (725m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 725m. 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 Frissell (725m) have elongated ridges?
