A Hypsometric maps represents the elevation of the terrain using colors. The area between two neighboring contour lines receives one specific tint. A map giving elevations by contours, or sometimes by means of shading, tinting, or batching. Hypsometric tinting in maps is often accompanied by bathymetric (the study of underwater depth of lake or ocean floor) tinting in oceans, which indicates depths using a similar method. This map represents a hypsometric map in that it represents different elevations with the use of colors, shading, and tinting. It also shows locations of and depths of oceans with different colors and tinting.
