What do the colors on the contour map of Pic de Neouvielle (3091m) 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 Pic de Neouvielle (3091m)?

The contour map of Pic de Neouvielle (3091m) 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 Pic de Neouvielle (3091m) show?

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Pic de Neouvielle (3091m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,091m. 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 Pic de Neouvielle (3091m) have elongated ridges?
