What do the colors on the contour map of Toedi (3614m) 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 Toedi (3614m)?

The contour map of Toedi (3614m) 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.

What does the elevation profile of Toedi (3614m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Toedi (3614m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,614m. 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 Toedi (3614m)?

At Toedi (3614m)'s latitude (47°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,200m. Since Toedi (3614m) reaches 3,614m, about 414m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

Why does Toedi (3614m) have elongated ridges?

Toedi (3614m) 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 Toedi (3614m) in the Alps 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 3,614m summit). Above 3,200m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
