The contour map of Mgahinga Gorilla Peak (3474m) 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.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mgahinga Gorilla Peak (3474m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,474m. 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.
As a stratovolcano, Mgahinga Gorilla Peak (3474m) was built by alternating layers of lava and ash. The summit crater is visible on the contour map as a small depression within the tightly spaced concentric contours near the peak.
