Bu dağ hakkında
Mount Ball (3311m) is a fold mountain in the Rocky Mountains, Canada. Grade 3/5: strenuous climb with technical sections. A Canadian summit offering spectacular wilderness scenery and varied terrain across this vast mountain landscape.
The topographic contour map of Mount Ball (3311m) in the Rocky 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 3,311m summit). Above 2,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
Yükseklik profili
The east–west elevation profile of Mount Ball (3311m) in the Rocky Mountains shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 3,311m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak. The dashed blue snow line at 2,500m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
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 Mount Ball (3311m) 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 Mount Ball (3311m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,311m. 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.
At Mount Ball (3311m)'s latitude (51°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 2,500m. Since Mount Ball (3311m) reaches 3,311m, about 811m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
Mount Ball (3311m) 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.
