What do the colors on the contour map of Jabel Marra (3042m) 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 Jabel Marra (3042m)?

The contour map of Jabel Marra (3042m) 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 Jabel Marra (3042m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Jabel Marra (3042m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,042m. 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 Jabel Marra (3042m) have a caldera?

The contour map of Jabel Marra (3042m) reveals a large caldera — a basin formed when the magma chamber beneath the volcano emptied during a massive eruption, causing the summit to collapse inward.
