Hypsometric Map

Hypsometric maps are used to distinguish elevation between different areas using varying shades of color to depict the relief.  By enhancing the different zones of elevation it can give the treader a clearer understanding of the actual relief of a given place. By using contrasting colors to represent the greatest points of relief a reader can quantify the elevation changes more accurately. This map depicts different elevations on Mars.
