What do the colors on the contour map of Storen (2286m) 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 Storen (2286m)?

The contour map of Storen (2286m) 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.

What does the elevation profile of Storen (2286m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Storen (2286m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 2,286m. 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.

What is the snow line on Storen (2286m)?

At Storen (2286m)'s latitude (62°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 1,500m. Since Storen (2286m) reaches 2,286m, about 786m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

Why does Storen (2286m) have elongated ridges?

Storen (2286m) 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.

The topographic contour map of Storen (2286m) in the Scandinavian Mountains shows elongated parallel contours following the ridge axis. 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 2,286m summit). Above 1,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
