Hypsometric map

Hypsometric map of Francehttp://www.reliefshading.com/colors/hypsometric.html

This is a hypsometric map of France. This map was provided by reliefshading.com and this demonstrates the elevation changes that exist in France. Using this map it is very easy to point out rivers, valleys, and mountain ranges. The Pyranees in the south are very easy to be located using this type of map using shadows and different shading to differetiate the different elevations. This is a hypsometric map because it uses color and shading to display elevation changes. Enjoy!!
